That is, indeed, correct. There aren't any special calculations with the strength/dex requirements. It'll just use the requirements of the new item, modified by whatever -% requirements it has, then reduced by 10 if it's ethereal. Kuko Shakaku doesn't have any -% requirements and it can't be ethereal, so the requirements of an upgraded one would simply be the requirements of a shadow bow: 188 dex, 52 strength.
