Your understanding is correct, private use is not restricted by freely
licensed software.

The GPL and AGPL differ in the scope of private use however in that the
latter the copyleft terms are applied to all users of the software,
regardless of whether they receive a copy or merely use it over a computer
network (ie, a webapp, chat server, etc).

AGPLv3 covered works can include GPLv2+/GPLv3 code.
