Correct, been there a few times myself. Not sure about the other Banjercito office. Never been to that one.
BTW Tim,
In November, I paid Tourist Visa with Credit card in Tijuana. No problems at all. Same with ALL TVIP fees and deposit paid at port in La Paz. All on credit card. Helps if you have a bank that does not charge international transaction fees.
Insurance for Mexico is for sale all over Mexicali ... but it's on the USA side (Calexico), not the Mex. side!  But buying on line is best anyway. You done good!
Imagine! NO ENGLISH! How dare they not speak English in Mexico! 
Actually many Migracion workers do speak English (highly prized govt. position) as it's required. But few others do ... including border guards, Army guys. Federal Police may speak English ... if you are unlucky enough to be talking to them ....
Suerte!
