Alternator warning light on 912 Rotax

[SilverFox5]

I think I know my answer but I am also not an experienced electrical guru. I want to confirm the indicator light we are talking about here (picture of Rotax electrical dwg attached) is a fault light and will only be on if no charging is detected correct?

Yup. That's its job.

Think of the "L" terminal on the regulator as a switch, controlled by the charging state. If the regulator is charging the battery then the switch is open (no current flows through the lamp), and if the regulator is not charging the battery then the switch is closed (turning on the lamp).

That is what I thought but was not positive.
Thanks for confirming!
