You are at least correct on the last part of the reply. If you use SRV records, you would essentially have 1 gateway in the dial plan entry. If all the lines were busy or the gateway the PBX tried to contact was returning an error the dial plan entry would fail and would not fail over to the next gateway.
You are better off putting your gateways individually into the dial plan entry.
