Each separate icon is a separate system. Your first version is correct.

Of course, FB1 gives you the option of compressing multiple threshold
checks (for a single system) into a single die roll - so rather than
rolling against 6, then 5, then 4, you'd just roll once against 2
(4-1-1). (Yes, this does mess up the probabilities a bit, but it's a lot
faster.)
