yes, you are correct, the ends of the pins will be bend at least 90° and they may be trimmed some so they don't interfiere with the control surfaces.
when i use the large dubros i try to run a single piece of piano wire thru all and secure it on one end of the surface. . this way you an easily remove the surface and part of the gap is filled by the piano wire. bending all those cotter pins is a pain...
