More or less:
Ikkyo: For learning how to take uke's center and power generation.
Irimi nage: For learning how to enter without fear.
Shiho nage: For learning hot to spin without losing your own balance while keeping uke unbalanced.
Tenchi nage: For learning how to maintain opposite tension.
BTW. I'm also trying to understand Ueshiba, but it's still a work in progress so better keep things to myself
