Correct. You are right in everything you said, but you have to talk about it this way.
Safety ratings probably shouldn't be in relative terms.
When it comes down to heavy traffic 75 mph freeway driving, a truck is going to hold up better than a car.
I hate how Volvo and companies like them strut those "ratings" but when it came down to it in a crash test car vs car (or truck) they don't hold up well.
To me, there is a huge difference between a Volvo hitting a cement wall as to another moving large object.
A cement wall or something moving is very different, not all that momentum is coming to a dead stop hitting another vehicle.
The thing to do is find out how much energy is just stopped if you hit a brick wall and how much energy is transferred when hitting a moving vehicle.
At least with the vehicle the energy can still go forward and if you were to hit something head on it would make the two vehicles fly away from each other off to the side of the impact, with the wall it just stops and has nowhere to go.
It depends on how the two cars come together and such.
A small car would not hold up too well against a semi truck and such, but with cars of the same size it is way different.
