That's correct, one of the real nice things about TSM. This is basically the same as migrating from any kind of disk pool to any kind of tape pool, doesn't matter the media type/technology.
You do need to remember though that after you have migrated ALL of your onsite tape pool and it's offsite copies have been made, then you need to "delete volume" with discarddata option on the OLD offsite pool tapes, or else old tapes will still be there.

So to confirm, there are no technical gotchas that are going to prevent data movement from one media type (LTO1/2) ton another (LTO3/4)? Anyone else done this?

Just define up your new tape drives/devc/stgpools and then set the NEXTPOOL= on your LTO1/LTO2 stgpool(s) to the new LTO3 or LTO4 stgpools. Now just MIGRATE STGPOOL the LTO1/2 over to the LTO4 pool. No need to do individual MOVE DATA/NODEDATA. Just let migration handle it all for you. Cancel it and restart it as you need.

Is it possible to run 'move data' or 'move nodedata' commands from either LTO1 or LTO2 device class to LTO4? What about from LTO1/2 to LTO3? Has anyone done this? God bless you!!!
