No, that's not correct. Tracking is recommended so that you are protected against fake "Item not received" claims. All package postage comes with tracking; if you purchase your label through eBay the tracking number is automatically recorded in the transaction. But you are allowed to purchase postage anywhere you choose, and then you can enter the tracking number into your transaction by hand.
Another reason that you have to choose the shipping method when you set up the listing, is so that the buyer knows what method you plan to use and how much it will cost them.
Since eBay shows you options that aren't appropriate, clearly it is your own responsibility to learn about your options so you can make a reasonable choice yourself without relying on eBay to figure it out for you. The dimensions that you gave would ship as either Priority Mail or Parcel Select Ground.
