Correct. If you arrive from the UK on the C pier, you immediately exit into the mixed non-Schengen area, with very limited facilities. You can then pass through immigration into the mixed Schengen area, where you can either stay, or take the escalator down to arrivals.
Some SAS flights land at the shared Schengen/non-Schengen D1xx gates, in which case you will be sent upstairs, but will be routed round to the C pier mixed area, where it'll be the same as above.
Haven't arrived at the LCC D gates before, but I think you just pass through immigration as you leave the LCC area, and are into the mixed D pier Schengen there and then.
In terms of food, I find it slightly disappointing. The highlight is actually the ever tasty Lagkagehuset bakery (I do love Danish bread) - unless you want to go to MASH, which will definitely set you back a penny or two.
