The distinction is exactly as you described. I almost always play historical leagues with no minors, so I had no idea whether minor league teams can sign free agents. But, as Righty Groove pointed out, I suspect that only unaffiliated minor league teams can sign free agents. And this is completely unrealistic, because minor league teams sign unattached free agents for veteran leadership or depth in real life.
