is it reasonable to assume that the generation of a commit point is always '1' when an empty index is opened?
It depends what "empty index" means. EG I can make a new index, add docs, do lots of commits, etc., then open a new IndexWriter with create=true on that same Directory. At that point I have an "empty index" (no docs), but its generation is > 1. Or if by empty index you mean zero files in the Directory, then when I make an IndexWriter w/ create=true and immediately close it, then generation will always be 1.
