I believe that you are correct. A corporation has to publicly disclose some of its officers (in my state, a president and a secretary, who can be the same person or not, but must be persons) and an address so that it is available to be sued when the need arises. The states also require that corporations have some minimum number (sometimes one) of human directors (members of the board) who are responsible for overseeing what the corporation does. Humans must also sign the forms that disclose all this (typically each year) and sign the federal and state tax returns.
