Correct. OmniFocus does not handle things like appointments or events. In GTD terms, those "hard landscape" items belong on a calendar. And OmniFocus is for the "soft landscape", all those other things you need to do that don't have a scheduled time. Start dates are for indicating the first *possible* time you could do the action. End dates are generally deadlines.
For example, I can't buy that new movie until it's released on DVD next week. But I need to watch it before my cousin visits next month, so I can give it to her. So I set a start and due date, but it's not a scheduled event. I'm not going to watch the movie for 3 weeks straight!
