You are correct in assuming that the false bulkhead has to come out. The other end of the heater hose connects, not surprisingly, to the heater core. It's not a bad idea to replace the heater core if it's leaking, but I think you'll find that replacing it is an order of magnitude harder than just replacing the hose.
When you replace the hoses, get a new foam gasket that goes around the hoses where they enter the false bulkhead. My foam crumbled when I replaced the hoses, and getting a new gasket added a day to the project and another trip to the dealer.
The hoses are widely available from the advertisers on the board. About $15 each versus $60 from the dealer.
