For California, you have two options. You can send it in with "ITIN applied" as you do with the Federal, or you can file an extension, wait until the ITIN is issued, and then file the return with the ITIN. California will wait until the ITIN is approved regardless. Expect the ITIN processing to take about 2 months.
As far as the Federal is concerned, this is correct. You do file the return plus the W-7 and, if you do not use method 2 or 3 for verifying the ids, you include those also.
