Correct.
Your users could send a request

   snmpset ....    localhost   b.1 i 4    rowstatus.1  i  createAndGo(4)
or
   snmpset ....    localhost   rowstatus.1  i  createAndGo(4)    b.1 i 4

and the agent should treat these identically.

That depends on how the table has been defined.
If the description indicates that the table supports "automatic creation",
then you could indeed create a row with index 1.
   In which case, you should probably be asking whether you need
a RowStatus column at all.   (Maybe just for row deletion?)

If the table doesn't support automatic creation, then this request
would fail.

If you receive a request

   snmpset .... localhost   rowstatus.1 i createAndGo(4)

then your agent should create a new row, but would *not*
assign a value for the column 'b',   Each SET request is
processed independently - you don't remember values from
one failed request, and use them later.
