Am I right about this?

It’s not used for course placement, but teachers may use it for understanding the reading level of their students when planning and forming groups. Don’t blow it off, but don’t stress about it.

Map tests are absolutely not the sole thing used for class placement in elementary school. Please stop stressing your elementary aged kids
