just one of the many plot holes, dawg. here's how I took it...

the proto-alien love child of the octopus shark and buff powder hightailed it to the crashed arc ship and then sorta camped out there making alien eggs for a few hundred years until the scientist crew from Alien showed up. Now, how he/she got the blue/green laser to protect the eggs (shown in the first Alien) is beyond me. Also, how her eggs were fertilized is beyond me as well. Maybe that alien was a male and a female alien was chilling in one of the other ships that was apparently lying around the planet.

But for the most part, I think your interpretation is pretty much accurate.
of course this isn't explained in the film so it's really left up to the viewer.
