Yep.  You're right on.

That's correct if all those 32 notes are playing presets with
instruments on all 4 layers.  Any layer that has an instrument assigned
will use a voice (even if you don't hear it, because you could turn the
volume up in real time).  Of course, if that layer doesn't have a
sample assigned to that key (as in the case of some drum instruments
which have "holes") or you play a note out of the Key Window, that
won't use polyphony.  Voice chorus (not the FxB chorus) uses double the
voices too, so each layer with chorus on uses two voices.  In addition
to that, some instruments have more than one voice per layer, but
that's rare (I think only the B-3 ROM has instruments like that).
