So that is pretty much right, content consumers are free and creators require a pro license which is roughly USD$10 per month. But you might be underestimating the cost of the premium license. Specifically what you need is a Power BI Premium Capacity license. These come in blocks of 8 vcores and for each core of premium capacity your are licensed to have the same number of cores running on prem for Power BI Report Server.
The starting license for a Premium Capacity is a P1 which has 8 vcores so you can run Power BI Report Server on a since 8 core machine or even 2 x 4 core machines or 4 x 2 core machines. The important thing is that the total cores on-prem is less than or equal to your Premium Capacity license.
I'm not sure what country you are in, but you can see here https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/ that in USD it is about $5000 per month for a P1 capacity.
