Yep, in the meantime I've been finding more sources, all of which explain things the same way as you did.
Got to say I am warming to the idea. Whatever you think of the yes/no options, it's pretty cool that a minister who has the people in his back steps down in order to ease the process ahead, rather than letting the support go to his head and turning into one of those larger than life characters.

Sending someone who doesn't have his... problematic history with whoever it is they have meetings with, but also has a clear democratic mandate to not accept the conditions, is certainly going to be more of a benefit than a hindrance. "Sorry guys, I'd love to cut pensions and raise taxes, but you know - that Varoufakis guy and his referendum. Grrr!"
Add on to that the fact that the creditors didn't really like him and wanted him out, it looks like a pretty good concession. Small victories.
Pretty well played overall, I think.
