Yes that is correct.

The Nameless Mist created Yog-Sothoth. Who by its very nature contains and is everything (all the outer gods and great old ones are are merely small facets of its infinite and boundless self).

But since the Nameless Mist created Yog-Sothoth, it would be by definition outside of and transcend it as a whole.

The outer gods are merely minute forms or archetypes that make up Yog-Sothoth, but they cannot surpass or transcend the one who created them.

So you see why neither one can be defeated.
