Care to clarify what's erroneous?

[maxerickson]

The active compounds are not concentrated in the seeds. The seeds are even in the way of extraction of the opioids from the rest of the plant.

Also, Opium is not really a compound, it's a mixture (which is maybe getting pedantic, but it's ~8th grade science).

[TenOhms]

Correct, the seeds themselves are inert, the latex surrounding the seeds is what contains the opium.

It seems there are two processes in use, one uses opium as an intermediary, the other doesn't.

The latex used in India would seem to be opium (which is a dried latex obtained from the opium poppy)

Although may be present in the seeds in minute quantities, they extract it from the seed pod by scarring the pod and then letting it "bleed" (probably not the correct term) and harvesting it later.

[Nursie]

Opium is a mixture of compounds, not a compound itself.
