That's fairly accurate, probably just a little bit of incorrect terminology but close enough.... The transfer switch isn't really taking 240V and splitting it into 2 120V buss bar feeds. Your Generator is producing 240V ( through 2 hot lines of 120V that are 180* out of phase ) those two 120V...

Sounds correct, so you're running 4 conductors to the transfer switch, correct?? 2 Hots, 1 Neutral and 1 Ground.... You don't really want to ground the machine separately at the shed, you want to be running your neutral and ground as separate conductors back to your main panel. From there the 2...

The SX-460 says you "may" have to wire in a manual field flash switch, but I've never needed to. Perhaps if the gen has been sitting a LONG time you may find the need to flash it, but probably not. If you go with the surplus original regulator I don't think you would need to manually flash...

You'll have to do a bit of testing to confirm, BUT the VR on those machines is definitely a known weak point. I've swapped every 016X that has ever crossed my doorstep over to an SX-460 regulator. You can find the Chinese ones for under $25, and they have always worked well for me. Pretty...
