That is correct. There is no circuitry required on the switch. All it needs is a swith that will provide an On-On-On facility. The first On position is really the Off position, but it provides an alternative live feed to the wiper moter, which is broken automatically at the motor by a cam when it reaches a pre-defined position.

My Kirkham was supplied without a park facility on the wipers and I've since rewired to to self-park. There was no additional circuitry required for the switch.
