You are correct, except that your block will be rejected or eventually forgotten by everyone else but you. Nodes typically only keep the blocks in the longest chain, though they may keep orphaned blocks for a little while in case they somehow becomes the longest chain.

Thanks, but doesn't "...a little while..." proves that most of the time the nodes will have different versions of the ledger (some nodes will keep transactions a little longer than others)?

Doesn't matter. 1. There is no expectation that every node's block chain is the same because of forks. 2. Transactions in orphaned blocks are ignored.
