Basically. It can get even more complicated as far as the major league contract and when he should keep it and when he should move back to a minor league contract, but right now the important thing is that he should be able to go back to the minors.

Now, what impact does the 1 option have?

The option means he can't refuse the assignment to the minors and doesn't need to clear waivers in order to be sent down, he still has an option so the team can option him down without needing his permission. If he were out of options, he would have the right to refuse and then force the team to trade/release/place him on 25-man.
