I'm pretty sure your theory is correct.
I know for a fact the fire elementals in MC are unblockable, however the lava/rock elementals could be blocked. I very clearly remember getting smacked around by the fire elementals before I got my alt some crafted FR gear. Core hounds used physical attacks w/ a fire breath from what I remember. I'm not 100% sure about the imps, however, I'm pretty sure they were pure fire damage and also unblockable.
I don't remember if the water elemental in DM:E or the elementals in Sillithus were also unblockable, but it wouldn't surprise me.
