Yep, thats right. The oil pump is part of the timing casing (aka rear cover) assembly and it is sold as a unit. Mine was 250 for it. Now as for them telling you that it does not have any replaceable parts, i'm finding that hard to believe. Try to check with another dealer. In my case I had to remove 2 long shafts that go into the block. Then you put the gasket onto the block (after cleaning it of course) and slide the oil pump through those shafts. The holes will require a seal, much like a front main seal (and on my model the front main seal too). Once the cover assembly is on the engine then you attach the gears to the shafts that are coming out of the cover assebly and tighten the gears.
Try another dealer and yes you might end up having to use your old shafts with the new oil pump/ timing cover. Slightly confusing I know.
