Correct, however the "indication" (display) is not the *method* (sensing
pressure).


Who said it was?



So, your assertion: "In other words, an altimeter indicates
altitude at the level of the instrument itself." is only valid under a few
specific circumstances.


What would those few specific circumstances be?



Do you see a difference between my statement and yours, other than the
decimal point?


Yes. You say the pilot adjusts the indicated altitude, I say he adjusts the
altimeter setting.
