You are correct.

The retention period will begin when the volume is marked Full or
Used. With the current settings that will happen when the filesystem
becomes full. At that point bacula will start the retention counting
from the last modified time. Also at that time bacula will prompt the
user to label an additional volume since there are no appendable
volumes.
