No, this is not correct. The parameter does NOT refer to the
engine as such but to a config file for polyglot. (I usually
call them something.eng to make clear it is such an engine
config.)
This eng-file is a plain text file that contains the setup
of the engine. You can set all UCI parameters there and
polyglot will do the translations. But again: you have to do
the configuration for the engine within this file, and it's
the path to this ENG file that you pass along to polyglot by
means of Scids parameter field.

Sure. It does not crash but not even start as polyglot does
not understand your binary as input.

You've ot create it yourself. See also polyglots docs. (I
think they call those files .ini) Here's a minimal version
of how it might look like for Toga:

You have to adopt your path settings here. Note:
EngineCommand now points to your toga-binary, ie.
/usr/games/toga2. The BookFile to your opening book.
You may also tune the engine by means of the usual UCI
commands. For Toga II 1.3.1 you _can_ add the following
lines and adopt the parameters. All lines with ; are
comments and the list below also gives the ranges allowed
for the settings.
