You are correct. The original release included "EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE" in the scroll.
I remember thinking it was a clever conceit. Lucas stated that the movie was a nod to the old movie serials; e.g., Flash Gordon, and said that this was the middle trilogy of a nine part story. He just failed to mention that the first three parts were really bad.
