Am I right in thinking if I had two 500GB HDDs, for it to auto move onto the second drive when the first drive is full I would have to go into disk management and create a span? so the two drives in many ways turn into one giving me a total of 1TBs in my system?

Yes but you need to convert the volumes to Dynamic and then span the volumes, personally speaking I would probably go for a single larger hard disk rather than spanning because if one of those drives dies, you lose the data from the spanned volume.
