No, you didn't get it. Moral luck does not prove or disprove the idea that there is a right or wrong, only that there is unique correct right or wrong for any given moral judgment.

Mathematical analogy: You have an equation (moral dilemma). Moral absolutism says there is only one solution, and we can always solve it. Moral luck demonstrates that our solution does not always solves for the right variable (you are solving for X, but got value of Y without realizing it). Moral nihillism we can never be sure that our solution is correct answer. Moral relativism says there are multiple answers. Moral objectivism says that for a given space of X and Y we can solve the equation and know the right answer.
