the concept of resolution is as you describe, albeit incompletely
in my statement above (over 3 1/2 years ago now) each of the quoted instances is a cadence or resolution point in a chord progression; they are used exactly as you describe to bring a sense of ending to a phrase
think about Let it be - C-G-Am-F-C-G-Am-F-Em-Dm-C
C-G is I-V and is a cadence where chord I resolves to chord V
G-Am is V-vi and is a cadence where V resolves to vi
F-C is IV-I and is a cadence where IV resolves to I
F-Em is IV-iii and is also a cadence where IV resolves to iii: iii is a substitute for both V and I
i.e. the progression is a chain of cadences even the ii-I is a substitute for or an elision of V-I
