Correct. It still won't be entirely free (you still have to pay for the 
amount of time it'd take the enemy to destroy it), but it will go down 
considerably in cost.

Armour is more valuable than 4-row hull integrity if the opponents refrain 
from using armour-penetrating weapons (eg. missiles, P-torps, grasers 
nowadays, K-guns of course, even normal beam batteries if Aaron Teske rolls 
the dice), but if they do use such weapons it drops back down again.

In the specific Hattin example I'd be more inclined to say that the PDSs 
are more valuable than the extra hull - IIRC the Hattin has 1 ADFC + 4 PDS, 
so if you replace 2 PDSs with hull boxes you pretty much gut the ship's 
area-defence capability :-/
