Yeah, you're right - there's an error in there, should have said "only 3 skill points" in both cases.
Very-something detectives can subtract 4 points from the base cost of skills that match their archetype.
Combined-archetype detectives can subtract 2 points from the base cost of skills that match the 2 types they cover.
Every detective will have to pay full price/base cost for skills that belong to a different "statistic" than their archetype :)

Well, yes - you're archetype/basic character trait will always be the same - in your case then Tough and Charming.
However, it doesn't mean that you won't be able to get the same skills as a Very Tough or a Very Charming detective, or that these won't work just as well for you as for a Very-something detective.
The archetype is only an indication of how many skill points a skill will cost you to get. This means that you'll get a reduction of 2 points on all the Tough skills and all the Charm skills, but you will have to pay the full "price" for Smart skills. As comparison a f.ex. Very Tough detective would get a reduction of 4 points on all the Tough skills, but would have to pay full "price" for Charm and Smart skills :)
