Am I correct in thinking that post-quantum cryptography such as lattice-based solutions run on classical computers are resistant to quantum attacks (as opposed to RMS), whereas quantum key distribution schemes such as the BB84 are designed to run on quantum computers to communicate between them?

Post-quantum crypto schemes run on classical computers and are hoped to be secure against quantum attacks. Quantum key distribution such as bb84 or e91 run on quantum hardware (although does not require the full power of a quantum computer) and is provably secure (subject to certain underlying assumptions about lab security etc) against quantum attack.
