That's almost right.  Once you have the immigrant visa and your daughter enters the US and is admitted to live as a legal resident in your physical custody -- and she is under 18 -- she immediately becomes a US citizen under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000.  No N-600 is needed.  You can immediately apply for a US passport for her.  You may choose to file for a Certificate of Citizenship at some point, just to have that documentation, but it is not ever required.

"and is admitted to live as a legal resident in your physical custody' - she is admitted to live as a legal resident as soon as we go through costumes in the airport?

As long as you can demonstrate that you all entered the US to actually reside and not just visit, yes.  That is, you need to show you are resident -- for example: home mirtgage or lease, utilities, school enrollment, etc.
