I believe you are correct.

And advanced centrifuges allow you to enrich uranium without a working reactor. You just separate out the isotopes.

That doesn't mean there was an active program that was separating out the uranium isotopes to create enough enriched uranium for a bomb before the invasion. Nor does it mean that if we didn't invade the Iraqis would have soon had a bomb, but there is reason to believe the plan was to eventually get the bomb, and resume other WMD programs.
