To receive Credit for running a scenario, I have to pick a character to receive the Chronicle as though I had used them to play the scenario. This allows the character to gain any and all rewards that the players could have achieved in a single playthrough.
Then to play the scenario as a player later, I would have to use a different character that doesn't have a Chronicle for that scenario yet to receive Credit. And if I had already played that scenario as a player, I'd also have to use a Replay.
Alternatively, after running the scenario, I can forgo receiving a Chronicle (but not other rewards for running the scenario), but I would have to earn it again to acquire it later.
Is my understanding correct?

Sounds about right.
The GM gets double Achievement Points (and unlike in the game, if you have another modifier for the event you're GMing for, the multipliers stack), and you also get table credits towards earning GM Glyphs.
You can also award yourself a Chronicle for GMing a given scenario once. It doesn't necessarily have to be the first time. A character can never have two copies of the same Chronicle, so you can't play it with and assign GM credit to the same character.
I have, once or twice, decided not to give a GM Chronicle to a character who would otherwise have been my first choice because I hadn't played it yet an wanted to play it with that character. Giving them the GM Chronicle would have effectively locked them out.
If the scenario is Repeatable, you can give yourself a GM Chronicle every time you run it, though they all still have to go to different characters. I have a total of five Chronicles for each section of the Beginner's Box, one from playing it and four from running it.
