Yes starting your project with the 1.0 templates will give you 1.0 references.
I agree its confusing that the 1.0 templates appear at the 'top' level and the 2.0 in a sub folder. Several people missed them because of that. The 3.0 templates are going to be in a random place on a web server in Antarctica I hear ;-)
