Your understanding is correct. I'm paraphrasing here but Higby talked about the BI's during E3 in which he basically stated they would be separate of major continents and included on the live servers available for everyone at anytime. Well, 2 factions at time. Eventually they have to add the game mechanics that allows a faction access to those battle islands. Most would like to see continent locking to for that. I'm thinking they may use the current mechanic were when one faction holds the majority of a continent it adds another button to select at the Warpgate terminal.

Oshur was only mentioned long long ago as a continent of it's own that will be added after Hossin and Searhus. That will bring us to 6 total Continents plus Battle Islands.
