I may be missing something, but as far I can tell the automatic failure/success rules aren't universal, and only apply in those situations.
That is indeed correct. Also note that the "impossible Toughness save" rule (minimal success on a natural 20) doesn't apply to minions/minor characters, just heroes, villains, and the like.
