Yes you are correct.
$1 rule will do this to "password"
password1
An easier way would be to use the hybrid attack, I asked if you were using windows because I haven't been able to get the hybrid attack working properly for me. I wondered if you had experienced the same issue.
However if you are also having trouble, you can use the rule based attack $1 etc as you mentioned before.
Explanation of rules is here.
Edit.
I have just looked through my notes and it is the prefix of the hybrid attack that isn't working, not the suffix so it should be ok for you to do it that way if you wish.
When I say not working I mean not for me, I haven't been able to get it confirmed yet.
