The 0.8 volumetric efficiancy is at optimum engine speed, probably at max torque at wide open throatle.

You are a little more precise.
20% throttle does not let by 200 cc of air; it still lets in 1000 cc, but the 20% throttle makes that particular volume of air have the density and pressure of 200 cc at atmospheric.
So yes, you are correct, but the math still works out the same.
