Correct. As OCLC puts it:
"The electronic location in field 856 is for the same resource
described by the record as a whole ... If the data in field
856 relates to a constituent unit of the resource represented by the
record, use subfield 3 to specify the portion(s) to which the field
applies."
You would probably have separate 856s for the entire "same resource as
described by the record as a whole" and any constituent part (e.g.
contents) linked individually.

Right again. It's the same idea:
"The location in field 856 is for an electronic version of the resource
described by the record. In this case, the item represented by the
bibliographic record is not electronic, but an electronic version is
available. If the data in field 856 relates to a constituent unit of the
resource represented by the record, use subfield 3 to specify the
portion(s) to which the field applies."
