They are telling you that you will need to modify your dns records to point to their servers is all.
They don't want your domain. They just need you to point it to them after they give you the information.
In other words; you are correct. You'll just have to change your name servers.

It's how your domain knows what server it is now on :)

Change the old server info to the new info:

ns.youroldserver.com IP number
ns2.youroldserver.com

ns.NewServer.com new IP number
ns2.NewServer.com new IP number

And - your sites might crash, and have problems for over 2 days - untill the new info propagates around the web.
