Yeah, you got it exactly right. "Show Allies" is a partial Truth setting, it does not put anything "on the link." And the link shares positional data between platforms on the same Side, but not with the same Alliance. Thus, DW allows mission designers to choose between having platforms working on the same "side" (lowercase) which have Link capability, and those that do not.
And by the way, thank you for doing a search first so that the relevant discussion stayed together for someone to follow instead of spreading it all over the place and making the forum a mess. Subsim needs more like you.
