most likely you are correct and 100 amps for the shop with 200a - shop load for the house will be fine but it depends on what you are running at the same time as well as what is going on in the house at the same time. someone using the stove/ oven while some one is taking a shower can draw a lot of power with ac/heat on top of that.
also circuit breakers don't just trip when hit 201 amps for a few min they will take 10 min or so at 230 amps (more current less time) but on the other side unless they are 100% rated and most are not, that 200 amp breaker will trip at 80% or 160 amp after 4 hours continuous load (give or take).
as i said before you most likely will not have a problem with your load.
Good news with that is hot water and stove are both gas. Oven is electric so no getting around that one.
