This charge controller is the baby step that allows me to go solar panel —> this controller>> battery and Whatever I'm powering.
Right?

Correct. I'm also using a 20W panel to directly power a small water pump, but this plus a spare car battery would be a more reliable/robust setup for relatively cheap.
ETA: Keep in mind Amazon has cheap charge controllers for about the same price;
10A $9.99 https://www.amazon.com/EpRec-Cont...r=8-3&th=1
20A $10:59 https://www.amazon.com/EEEKit-Con...s=1&sr=8-6

It's fine in the body of the post, but the title is getting redundant.

A charge controller basically optimizes the output to a set voltage.
Very basic models are just a switch. They literally just turn off if the voltage gets below a certain threshold. Other one are much more complex and attempt to optimize your total power deliver(Volts * Amps).
this is especially important in battery charging. If you just hook up a solar panel to a battery, it will charge the battery while there is light and hypothetically, the battery will turn the solar panel into a light bulb at night. This makes sure that your battery is always getting float voltage.
