Hello Blackbird.
First of all, welcome to Tyria and the forums!! Hopefully you enjoy your stay in both .
Answering to your question, yes, you need to choose a server that is not currently full; you can start playing and levelling up there and keep on checking at the same time the other sever to make your transfer (this can take a while but do not through in the towel). At the moment we are allowing one transfer per week and in due time we will implement a guesting feature that will make you able to invite friends from different servers to play with you.
Greetings!
