Yes, this is correct. Pixma backend supports only symmetric scan
resolutions, so the highest available is 600dpi for your scanner.

Please have a look at INSTALL.linux, "2.3.1. SANE library". Maybe you're
using SANE installed from your distro's repository. After this gscan2pdf
should also see the usb scanner.
