You are correct. The pot with the capacitor soldered to it would typically be a "B" (aka linear) pot. The "A" (aka logarithmic or audio) pot would typically be used for the volume.
HOWEVER, what you have there will still function albeit differently than you may desire due the the curves being opposites.
I actually prefer audio/logarithmic pots for my tone controls, so if it were me, I would just replace the the existing linear pot (B) in the volume position with an audio and call it good.
There are some players that prefer linear pots for volume. It all depends on your playing style and how you use the volume and tone controls. If you never use the tone control, and always play with the volume control on "10", you can just leave it the way it is and you won't be bothered by it.
Not that this matters to the present wiring you have, but I couldn't find the DSS-1 kit, what style guitar is it?
