The battery cables should hook to each big terminal. One in from battery then one out to starter. Then one small ignition wire to solenoid from key then out to ground. This will give you straight battery to starter the key switch has nothing to do with it. It's just to turn the slonoid on/off. I have been hooking solenoids up for years. I have never seen this before.

You need to look closer at the diagram. The positive battery cable A will connect to the other side B when the wire from the ignition switch energizes the small terminal on the solenoid. This allows voltage to go from the battery cable to the S terminal on the starter solenoid via the small wire on B.
The other small terminal on the remote solenoid has to be grounded to complete the circuit on the relay coil. You are correct that the two circuits are separate.
