This is "almost" exact.
The different equipments you listed can't have exactly the same colour appearance because they don't have the same gamut (the range of colour they are able to record or render)
The ICC profile (or entry profile for recording gears) are here to correct the original deviance of a specific equipment relative to absolute colour.
The profile LCT show us is an output profile designed for a printer : it corrects the deviance in colour of his printer, and normally, is automatically used by the printer's driver (who take also in account the kind of paper you use).
NB : They are NOT working profile.
It's the way you set your colour management software that will give you the same appearance on different devices : for photography, the most used method is "perceptual"
I hope I used the correct terms because my english is no that perfect...
