Yes, I believe you are correct. I believe the load bearing walls are framed with wood and the non load bearing walls are framed with metal. The advantage of the metal studs is that they run true.

If you center on a wood stud, perfect! If hollow wall or metal stud just drill through and use "Toggler Snaptoggle." Strongest and easiest I've ever used. Two sizes available locally at both Home Depot and Lowes.
