That's right.
Since by default, the template passes the category ID along to add.cgi, you could do this, except you would have to sort of force the template to be used. One way of doing it would be to write a plugin that hooked onto the add/modify, and using the ID, looked up what template should be used and set $IN->param(t => $template).
Well, there's many ways of doing it. It depends on if what's built in fits your needs. If not, you can easily add your own column and write a bit of code to handle it yourself. What don't you understand about the Category_Template field? I'll give an explanation about the field anyways:
As you know, setting the Category_Template will change the template set that will be used for the category, link and detailed templates. However, if you specify a template name (ie. not a template set), then that template will be only used for the category template instead of category.html and there will be no effect on the other templates. You can also specify a template theme (ie. template_name.template_theme_name) if you wish to just use a different style sheet for the category.
