if I understand well : private key is a combining of random number between 1 and 10^77.

From this private key is derived a bitcoin address with a precise algorithm.

As long as you send BTC to this bitcoin address which has been derived from your private key : you can safely say that you have the control of your fund and that your private key is valid.

can someone confirm?

Correct.
