Correct, that transfer switch is what would be required under the NEC for connection to your home breaker panel.
When I connected ours I didn't separate the MH feed. I just made the connection directly to the geny input side to the transfer switch using #8 romex, then added another junction box and added the #8/4 cord and female twist lock plug which was in the geny compartment. The working area can be a little tight, but it can be done. The connection for the house was a piece of #8/4 cable, with the male twist lock that went from the manual transfer switch to the MH. It just hung on the wall until needed as it was never disconnected from manual transfer switch.
#8 is more than adequate since the breakers on the geny itself are probably 30 amp, #10 would even work if the run is short enough.
