That's the way I read it too. The bottom line is that all the states have sovereignty relative to each other, and no state is above another (or below). The only time there is an issue is when there is some boundary-related issue that requires a higher authority (and Texas doesn't border any of the defendant states). So the "ruling" (not sure if that's the correct term is that Texas has no standing in this case. AKA pound sand.

There's a school of thought that since their jurisdiction is exclusive, the Supreme Court has an obligation to hear any case a state brings no matter how flawed it might be. Their feeling is that since there's no higher power to appeal to, that they have to hear the case so that it gets heard. Thomas and Alito are in that school of thought, and that's why they expressed the opinion they did.
My reading of it is that the only disagreement was whether to tell Texas to go away before or after they're allowed to file their complaints. Either way, the court unanimously told Texas to pound sand. The only way this is unclear is if someone willfully interprets it that way. If someone is inclined it interpret it that way, then they would have been unhappy with any outcome. There was absolutely zero chance that the Supreme Court of the US would overturn one state's election at the behest of another. Especially based on the argument that "their election processes hurt us." If they did that, then similar suits would happen every 4 years henceforth.
