This is correct. A broadcaster ID, User ID, Channel ID, they are all the exact same thing, they are just called slightly different things to differentiate them based on the context of the API request.

To use the Start Commercial endpoint ensure that you’re using a User Access Token from the user whose channel you wish to start a commercial on going through your apps OAuth flow, and including the channel:edit:commercial scope.

If the ID of who the token belongs to doesn’t match the broadcaster_id that you’re attempting to start commercials for then you’ll get an error as you need to use the token from that channel with the appropriate scope.
