Yes.

Upon detection, there will also be a time uncertainty between the absorption of the wave packet and the detected signal.

Yes, although you can't actually disconnect these two statements of uncertainty, it's all the same thing.

This would signify a valid measurement of single photon delay (subject to the uncertainty and taking into account known measurement delays) between the emission and absorption of a single photon that involved no interaction with any medium on route to the detector.

Yes.
