So, what I need to ask is not whether a custom cable is "straight through"
but rather whether all 15 pins are connected, yes?

You want a 15-conductor cable, with each conductor wired pin-for-pin between the DB-15 connectors on both ends, and no connection between pins. There should also be a shield, connected at each end to the DB-15 shell (and ONLY to the shells).

And "VGA" or "SVGA" should be removed from the discussion -- they describe a computer video data interchange format that needs fewer than 15 conductors, but uses DB15 connectors as a standard to differentiate it from other computer cables.
