Statement #2 in your quotation in your post is incorrect. The ammunition must be separated from the driver/occupants of the vehicle, the same as the gun, but there is no requirement to separate the ammo from the gun. The gun must be unloaded, which means no round in the chamber and no rounds in any magazine attached to the firearm.

Ohio also has a requirement for any magazine in the vehicle to be unloaded as well, if a person does not have a recognized CCW permit, but if the magazines are in a locked container and you never give permission for LEO to search the locked container (which you never should)....

The real statute is 18 USC 926a:

Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.
