+4 Headband of Vast Intellect and Cheating at Cards (have I got the skills right?)

[SlimGauge]

Got a +4 Headband of Vast Intellect from a wizard who was notorious for cheating at cards. It seems the two skills (one for each +2 of the headband) are Bluff and Sleight of Hand.

The Rogue/Wizard that ended up with the item has 1 rank in Bluff and 1 rank in Sleight of Hand, giving him a total skill as follows

Bluff: cha mod + 1 rank + 3 (class skill bonus)
Sleight: dex mod + 1 rank + 3 (class skill bonus)

Now the skill ranks from the Headband do NOT stack with the skill ranks the character already has, but the ability mods and the class skill bonus still apply, correct ? This would make his skill as follows

Bluff: cha mod + Hit Die ranks + 3 (class skill bonus)
Sleight: dex mod + Hit Die ranks + 3 (class skill bonus)

Although anyone notorious for cheating probably isn't all that good at it....
