If this is true, and I'm to adjust the light with say a D65, where do I go to learn what a D65 is?

That is correct. You have to turn actual geometry into an emitter (usually a simple planar surface)

You can find out more details about the emitter types here:

Right, you can do anything you want with the geometry for the emitter as long as you keep in mind that the more polygons in the emitter object the longer it takes.
