Currently this is correct and the only way to do this.
I have a Quest and a Quest 2. I have the multiuser and app sharing on my Quest 2. I have my main account, lets call it account A as the main account on both headsets.
On my Quest 2, I have a secondary account (account B) signed on as well. To play with my son, I have to sign into the secondary account on my Quest 2 and I have to play on my Quest.
It is a strange setup and I'm sure it will change, but as far as I know, this is the only way to play multiplayer if you own 2 headsets and only want to purchase the game once.

We bought a second headset and I thought I had to login in with my facebook where the other one is under my husband's. We've both added each other as 2nd accounts and enabled the app sharing. We haven't tried playing against each other in any games other than Dead and Buried II and I could only play it on my headset while signed-in under his name. And then there were 2 of us in the game...confused alot of people in there. Only one of us could chat though. I hope the next rollout allows for app sharing across family accounts.

Has this changed yet? I bought a second headset so my wife and I could play games against each other but I cannot figure out how to share games across two Facebook accounts. Was it a mistake to buy a second headset? I thought it would be easy to share apps and play each other.

I was confused with the exact same thing. Finally found out that you can have one primary account on two Oculus 2 devices. To do that I had to do a factory reset on one. I reset the one that didn't have any game purchases. Now after starting over on that device, I have my primary account on two devices. Then on one of the devices you can setup App Sharing. On this one I shared the apps with my wife. Now she uses her shared account on that device. And I use the other device. Most, but not all apps can be shared this way between two people without needing to purchase the app twice.
