Camshaft suggestions

Okay all.... Thanks for the all of the advise and much needed help!! Re-assembly has started and I have a question about the Timing chain gears Install/setup.
-Camshaft/Crankshaft gears/Chain install dot to dot. I get that.
-When dropping the distributor in...does the timing chain/gear assembly get rotated 180 so the gears(Dots) are set up 12 o'clock (Camshaft gear) 6 o'clock (crank gear)
then drop in the distributor with the rotor facing Cylinder #1 ?
Again... sorry for the Newbie question. Just want to make sure everything is correct.
If you are at dot to dot(crank at 12, cam at 6) now, rotate the crank 360 ( cam turns 180) so that both gears are at 12. That's #1 firing.
