I think you have it, but just to be clear...

You can move the A toward the bridge and get a B , but you have to also fret the first string (high E) on the second fret and don't strum the E or A strings. What you've done is made a barre chord without creating the barre completely across the neck.

It will make more sense once you get to barre chords. If you look at the chord shape of an F, it is partly the barre chord for an F on the first fret. Same thing for a B (except it's on the second fret). The F is based off barring the open E chord shape and the B is based off barring an open A chord shape.
