Correct. I've used AFT for MLB.TV, NHL GameCenter Live, and NFL Game Pass, and all work great.
I'm not 100% sure of this, but I believe that the need to log in with a TV provider only applies if you're trying to get free content anyway (that you already have access to with your cable subscription). If you're paying for it, you never need to - it's just that stuff shown locally on cable will be blacked out if they think you're in the U.S..

Authenticated Access to National Games and Events. Certain MLB games and events, such as the All-Star Game and select MLB Postseason games, broadcast nationally by Fox may be available for live streaming via MLB.TV to those subscribers who are also eligible customers of a participating cable or video service provider ("Authenticated Access"). MLB.TV subscribers who are not able to authenticate with a participating cable or video service provider, as determined by the applicable provider, will be blacked out from live streaming of these nationally broadcast games or events.
