You got it. Asimov provided this reveal in his original books along with lots of other stuff prior to the 1980s Foundation Prequels which clearly were compromised, imo.
But in the books they may have been clones, but not simultaneous clones. If I recall correctly it was just the next clone getting groomed with the oldest one being "put down" as soon as the power handed off. I think Apple took some liberties here and deviated from the books at least a little bit.
Apple's liberties of replacing strong masculine, brash, and swash-buckling heroes and protagonists with weak, emotional, and scatter-brained British-speaking black women ruins the story and the show.
Interesting... There is a show on Apple+ called "Foundation" that runs essentially this way. Brother Dusk, Brother Day and Brother Dawn.
"They" tell us everything in the movies....
