You are correct.

The 60GB model can play most of the games for PS1 and PS2 due to the emotion chip. However, in the 80GB, they replaced it with an emulation software. As a result, less games were playable. Although you still can play PS1 games on them. 40GB has no emulation software for PS2.

Wii, it can play all of the games since they use an emulation software. Although you cannot stick a NES cartridge into it or anything like that. The Wii is a neat console if you ask me.
