In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth. Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Your understanding is correct, fasting during periods is not permissible. One may make up the fast afterwards. If a period begins during the course of the fasting day, the fast is not valid. It is not necessary to abstain from eating during the remaining part of the day. However, she should not eat in the presence of others.
A woman whose period ends during the course of the day (i.e. during Ramadhaan) should compulsorily abstain from eating, etc. Her fast on the particular day her period ended is not valid, hence she has to make Qadha inspite of having to refrain from eating etc. on that day.
And Allah knows Best Wa Alaykumussalaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh
