That's correct.

I don't know if this will help, but Emacs has a filenotify feature which, on 
Linux, is based on inotify.  In the native Windows build of Emacs, filenotify is 
implemented in the file src/w32notify.c in the Emacs source tree.  Looking at 
how this is done might give you some ideas.

Agreed.  Good luck.
