Your assumption is correct. The scope of ISO 22301 can be all organization or specific services, processes, business units, or locations.
As for the scope for the first certification process, in case you are a small or mid-sized business, up to 500 employees, with only a single location, the best approach is to certify the whole organization (in such cases, the effort to keep the scope separated is not worthy).
In other cases, you should consider your business objectives and the most relevant services.
