I agree with you. loosely speaking,
を corresponds to the direct object.
に corresponds to the indirect object.
e.g.
漫画を 友達に あげた
彼に 台湾語を 教える
日本に 荷物を 送った
but I'm not sure about an object in English. I might be wrong. explaining particles usage with English is so hard to me.
and I must revise my post about ～文に使ったつもりです. I thought that over, then,
I would much rather say 新しい単語を覚えるために文を使ったつもりです.
(or 語彙を増やす（expand my vocabulary）ために新しい単語を使ってみました)
but also 新しい単語を覚えるために、（新しい単語を）文に使っ たつもりです might be ok.
well, I felt something was wrong with that at first. but that is according to one's own interpretation. someone would say that's ok.
