Yes, this is correct. Is this what you are already doing? To give some background: the fileResource functionality is at this point only supported as a backend for File dataValues, and not really as a generic storage mechanism for files. The reason for the two-stage process is that the server needs to perform processing and (potentially) re-uploading of the file (depending on the storage backend used) before it can be stored as a DV.
In the bundled data entry apps (tracker and aggregate) we do this by a three step process: 1) upload the fileResource to api/fileResource and retrieve the returned uid. 2) POST the DV with the value=<fileResource-uid> 3) (optional) Poll the fileResource/<uid> endpoint for the status of the upload to ensure it is properly stored in the backend. Fetching the actual file back can thus only be done on the api/dataValues/files endpoint (with query params just like on any DataValue).
