Indeed. In the real world, a monarch's accession is what makes him/her the monarch, the coronation is the acceptation of the monarch by God and/or Parliament. We don't know for sure, but I assume Azula's accession was proclaimed and once that's happened there's no real way back. However the legality of her claim is disputed. Obviously, her uncle Iroh and brother Zuko were pretenders to the throne and she could very well be considered an usurper.
