Correct.  1.3 ROM/Kickstart == 1.2 ROM/Kickstart + autoboot capability,
i.e. the ability to boot off autoboot hardware (like a hard disk controller
with autoboot ROM harddisk driver on board).  This also gives you the
ability to reboot off the recoverable ramdrive supplied on Workbench 1.3.

1.3 Workbench on the other hand, is quite different from 1.2 Workbench.
There have been lots of enhancements in the CLI commands, the math libraries,
the printer device and drivers, etc.
