Yes, that is correct. The non VM email address is the username when accessing the account on the VM website but you need to use your VM email address in the settings of any email apps you use.
It does seem strange but T'bird (and all email apps) do not access your VM email account via your Webmail account.
They authenticate directly with the VM smtp and pop3 (or imap) email servers.
