Exactly right. And the swivel adapter allows you to position the powder measure to position its center of gravity over the center of rotation of the turret. Not necessary, but makes operation smoother when using the auto-indexing feature.
A second riser CAN be used, but is unnecessary.

The turret does not NECESSARILY rotate. If you take the indexing rod out, the Turret remains stationary and the press becomes a single-stage (or manually indexing turret). Removing and replacing the indexing rod is a 5 to 10 second operation.
edit: ScottRiqui posted while I was writing. Let me add that he describes the "Continuous Process" of loading very well. The other way to load is by "Batch Process" where you size/deprime/reprime 50 cases (in single-stage mode), rotate the turret, then bell and charge those 50 cases, rotate the turret and seat/crimp bullets in the 50 cases. It is slower, but easier to keep track of the steps, especially when it comes time to verify that all cases have the same amount of powder. When you have all 50 cases in a row (or in a loading block) shine a light into them and look at the powder levels in the whole batch. A BIG safety feature of batch processing.
