Your suppositions are correct. There is no fill tube or dipstick. The transmission is filled from the bottom. The level is set by filling the transmission until the top of the standpipe is reached, then running the car until the transmission fluid reaches 45 degrees centigrade.
The service procedure is mostly the same as for any other transmission. The main caveat I see for the DIY mechanic is that to fill the transmission, the car must be both level and elevated enough to access the underside of the trans pan.
I've attached a PDF on the procedure which I picked up some time ago - forget where. It includes the part number for the fill fitting.
Cheers.
