Exactly.

Yes.

(yes for mail coming from these IP addresses; this information
is passed from Postfix to amavisd with a XFORWARD smtp command,
or from an AM.PDP milter through attribute 'client_address')

No, it is not required (but doesn't hurt).
For the purpose of backwards compatibility, it suffices that
IP address is found in @mynetworks_maps - as documented in
the RELEASE_NOTES:

  It is a boolean variable,
  turned on automatically in the currently loaded policy bank when a
  smtp client's IP address matches @mynetworks_maps, to retain full
  compatibility with existing setups.
