Pretty close! It's tar-soaked hemp fibers (rope traditionally being hemp), called oakum. Sometimes cotton under that for filling if needed. To me it still feels more about carefully easing out, particularly since paying out also has other uses that aren't rope related, like falling off to leeward after a tack.
As long as we're being pedantic, when you pay out pitch, you're not covering the deck with it. You're making lines of it that go in between the deck planks. It's basically caulking. You actually have to be careful to not get it everywhere (not least because pitch is really hot when you're paying it out), so just like when you're paying out a line, there's a sense of careful control and easing out the pitch.
I've been on the $5 a month plan, and go over probably half the time. The months when I do go over, it just means I start the next month a couple of days early. I'm probably actually somewhere around $6 a calendar month; my Kagi month is probably only 28 days or so.

It's been a while since I installed is, bit I think the only thing I had to do was make a shell script executable, which I think it says to do in the readme? Could be misremembering though.
