Yup, that's how it works. Look on the back of the filter head, you'll see the
passage where oil is allowed into the stud cavity.

You're reading the wrong catalog, TRF has them. P/N 112170, $1.75.

There are other ways to do it, certainly, but IMO the easiest is to use the
factory attachment. Otherwise you'll have to mess with a modern fitting, then
adapting it to the oil pressure line and so on. Unless you're also going to
replace the oil pressure gauge with a modern one, I'd just replace the stud and
it's two copper washers (which are different) and special nut.
