So would that mean most everything that draws significant current should have a relay? like my aftermarket AC system? and maybe even the headlights?

No denee the starter robs so much power that the coil won't fire. That is where the extra terminal on the starter solinoid went.
so if you ever have an engine that fires just as you let off the switch that wire could be the problem. Or if you have the wires reversed the engine can start but will not shut off.
