Correct.

Not within Glorantha. There is certainly chaotic contamination of parts of the Gloranthan otherworlds (e.g. Darkness Age realms of the God Plane; bad places in the Spirit World's landscape; the Hell Plane of the sorcerers' Invisible Measure), and these probably become even more confusing than the way the three Underworlds intertwine (cf. HW-NB p.24). But any hypothetical Realm of Pure Chaos would be external to Glorantha, by definition. Therefore, I would say, it does not count as a Gloranthan Otherworld. (Perhaps it'd be a non-World -- a Void of Chaos?)
Maybe the Great Secret of Primal Chaos allows you to "become one with Chaos" and thereby enter into a Chaotic Otherworld, but by doing so you'd remove yourself from Glorantha, permanently.
