   Yes, on an internal zone interface all ports are open by default. If you   
   tick "Protect Firewall from Internal Zone" then all ports are closed,   
   and you have to open one by one as needed, similarly as if it were   
   "external zone".   
      
   The settings on "internal zone" do not affect you, as you are using   
   "external zone".
