From what I have read, that is exactly what you do. I have not done it myself, but have asked on other Forums and they say that is how it works. I do not have the directions for how to activate a Verizon SIM, but they should be available on Verizon's website.
As to what is activating the SIM, you are just using any Verizon LTE phone to get your information onto the SIM. After the phone, with the new SIM, is active, your info is on the SIM and it will transfer to any phone that you pop it into.
Also, do not do anything with the phone, until you remove the TMobile SIM. Take it out immediately, when you get the phone. At least that is what I have read.
Be advised, I have not activated a TMobile unlocked iPhone or put it on Verizon, but I have read it will work. I think it will, but if I were going to pay full price for a 6 and use it on Verizon, I would get the Verizon version. I do not see how Verizon could do anything to keep you from using it, once you get it activated, but it will show as an unapproved device, from what I have read, and I would assume they will do nothing to support it. Even though you would have to wait a bit, most likely, to get the Verizon version, I think having Apple swap out the phone would be best. That said, best of luck getting it up and running, and report back.
