Correct. The reverb has to be 100% wet. The send amount is then what sets how much of each part/track is sent to the "Room" that the song is happening in. Technically you can set every Send to 100% or Unity - 0dB - and then adjust overall reverb level at the Return but that is a bit untidy and limits options. Generally, the safe starting point is to default all Sends to -12dB and the Return to 0dB.Should I route desired tracks to a single dedicated reverb bus?
Should I then set the reverb on that track to 100% wet?
While you can put a reverb on every track there are several far more pressing problems than CPU. With a reverb on each track, you can have every sound in a different space esp if you have a different set of settings for each reverb unit. Even if every reverb unit has the same preset, there is no "gluing" which happens when you have all the separate sounds coming together in the Send reverb.

p.s. Take care to use the official Send and Return system in your DAW as some will add latency if you create another channel.
