I just wanted to make sure that my understanding is correct.

When saying Chapter 22, Act 22, or Episode 22 (basically parts of a larger
piece), it normally starts with 第22 (or 第[number]) and then the counter.
Right? And 第 is another way of saying 目? Basically -th, ie.: fifth, sixth,
second, first, ninth. So all I need is the counter for the word I'm using. For
instance, the counter for "chapter" is: 章. And the counter for "episode",
[according to this
thread](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/12832/which-counter-did-
you-use-for-counting-tv-series-episodes), is: 話.

Is my understanding correct?

How to say "Episode 22", "Chapter 22", "Act 22", etc?
You are correct on `話` for "episode" and `章` for "chapter" (the Bible in
Japanese uses `章` for chapter). I'm not sure about "act", but multiple
searches show `[幕]{まく}`. Also related is `[巻]{かん}` for "volume" and `[場]{ば}`
for "scene".
