right?

No... this does not make any senses...

In general, the user and group should exist on both the server
and client; but the user and group ids do not have to explicitly
exist on the server...

Yes... On the server export the filesystem with the 'no_root_squash'
option which will allow root on the client to change ownerships with
the chown command.
