Am I understating this right?

If my PSU has an output of 7VDC at 2A but my motor only draws 1A than the supply will only supply 1A?
In other words as far as amperage goes I only use what is required within the specs of the transformer and circuit?

Yes, that's right. But bear in mind that motors draw a lot more current at start-up than when running at speed.
