This last phrase inside the parentheses doesn't make sense to me.
Reading that makes me think that the lack of an on-chip voltage domain
means that evn an external regulators can't scale the voltage, which I
don't believe is the case.

Yes, this idea looks right to me.
In addition to the wording above, a minor nit below...
