you're right.
Just define KOHA_CONF to use one or the other DB setup.

For example :
the test install is in /etc/koha_test.conf
the prod setup is in /etc/kohaprod.conf

Do a export/SetEnv KOHA_CONF=/etc/kohaXXX.conf before running what you want.
You can have the same cgi/templates for many installs, having just the 
DB setup different. The DB contains template, language, MARC,... so that 
will work really fine.

HTH.
