Yes, you are correct. Import them from the external drive. Open iPhoto which will create an empty iPhoto Library file. Select Import from the iPhoto's File menu. After the dialog opens locate the folder in which all your photos are stored. Select the folder then click on the Import/Open button. Wait until the import process is completed.
