Basically, yes. The intent is to give programs and humans a free hand
for composing XML documents.

No. The quoted paragraph simply says that you can use entities for
both, apostrophe and quote, which is obviously necessary for the
one you use as a surrounding delimiter. If a program serializing XML
content sticks to the quote as an attribute value delimiter, it doesn't
have to use ' There is no point in using the entity for apostrophe
when there is no conflict with XML interpunctuation.
