more or less...
you can render different lights turned "on" and then, just blend the different results by multiplying in Photoshop

yep, that's true.
The only thing, I don't get is:
a light will be black if turned of...
If that gets multiplied with white, it still will be black...
Or did I get something wrong?

You don't use multiply. You use screen.

Hopefully someone will hack this into Violet (interactive tonemapper).
Mixing tonemapped images in photoshop is a dirty hack.
