For "Not an expert" you've gotten it exactly right.
You still only make one die roll no matter what ability you're using, or how many people you're using it on.

I checked with my local Martial arts sensei - Other than very light Chinese swords, he couldn't think of another style with two swords (there is a new filipino matial art that uses 30-inch sticks, but it's been invented within the last 20 years or so, from what I can gather).
By the way, there is two-sword use in "Scorpion King" - including oil-covered flaming swords
