Yes that's correct.  You plug the "missing gap" in Epson's Adv B&W workflow.

No.  Think of Adv B&W as an entirely different driver - it just happens to
be in the same shell as the colour driver.  The response behaviour of the
printer when controlled with Adv B&W is completely different from when it is
controlled by the colour driver.  As a result the stimulus-response
behaviour measured and used to generate the colour profile has zero
relevance to the Adv B&W driver.

Hope that makes sense.
