That's correct. The only procedures that require expert review are the Expert Review and Specification Required procedures. The next-most-rigorous procedure is RFC Required, which as Tero noted, can mean any type of RFC. If you want to require an IETF-stream RFC without requiring a standards-track RFC, the procedure you want would be IETF Review. There are a few registries that use hybrid registration procedures. If it's what fits the registry best, you could state that the registration procedure is "IETF-stream RFC reviewed by an IESG-designated expert" (or "IETF Review with Expert Review"). Alternatively, if an RFC is not required, but there are specific requirements an IESG-designated expert should take into account, these could be listed in a sub-section of the IANA Considerations section.
