Yeah, that's the basics of it. Think of high "ohm" numbers as lower "pressure" on the amplifier. So a 16 ohm speaker will place less strain on the amp than a 4 ohm speaker. If you are running these off of your stock system, you should be just fine. Drop it in and give it a listen. If if really sounds too quiet, you might shop for a 4 ohm tweeter, but it shouldn't make a huge difference.
The rating on speakers is usually posted as an average, and likely at a specific frequency. Most response curves for this particular rating go up and down depending on the frequency they are playing.
