It seems to boil down to that, yes.

Yes, Schwartzschild (an interesting name coincidence, by the way, that someone
whose name translates to "Blackshield" should be the first to discover the
formula for a black hole's event horizon) did his calculations for the most
simple of black holes.

So if there's no EH, you can just zip straight through the singularity? And
actually decide to turn around any time? Speaking of which, how will time be
affected near the singularity?

I think I recall remember having heard that spinning black holes would actually
not have a point-shaped singularity at all, but a loop, because their drag on
spacetime is that extreme.
