First of all, welcome!

You can find the lotus minimal reqiurement here, this essentially your node and what you use to sync with the network, so yes, you are thinking it correctly. The mainnet full chain size is huge and is increasing 9GiB/day. So it is safe to say it's nearly impossible to sync from scratch. Thats why id suggest you to sync from a snapshot. and with the minimal one on my mac it takes about 2 hours excluding downloading the params.
