Yep, that's pretty much it.
Most people think that an ID card/DL name identifies themselves. In fact, the opposite is true. You identify as the name on the ID card/DL...as the physical agent of the commercial name on the ID. This is why cops always ask you to present them "your" (it's not yours) ID very early in an interaction. That shows the cop that you have entered into the contract with the state, agreed to be the physical agent of the name and are therefore subject to the terms of the contract, called the "state code" and every regulation they can think of to add to it. Someone that has that document has no constitutional rights, only whatever rights are available for use in commerce under the UCC.
Anything you sign is a contract. That includes ID cards, social security cards, credit cards...everything. The constitution allows for freedom to contract/association and contracting (giving consent, whether out of ignorance or not) is the only thing that trumps natural rights, such as the Bill of Rights. In the "legal" world, at least. Using any documents they supply you (you do ask for them, don't you?) that is in the all caps name, that you were told is you but isn't, are commercial documents under the UCC. Birth certificates, IDs, SS cards, etc. If it came from the state it is a document under UCC that indicates some sort of commercial contract in effect.
A very wise man once told me that your signature is the most valuable thing you own. Use it wisely. It's no coincidence that there's a push to remove signatures from daily commercial activities. Your signature is how you reserve your rights under the UCC. No signature option means no reservation of rights possible. They want to move people toward biometric identification. That means that your physical appearance becomes the consent to act as the agent of the commercial name...and no ability to reserve your rights under the UCC.
