I would guess that the higher temperature will be the result of the lower fan speed, as at the higher velocity the air has less time to be heated when passing the element. However you will have no idea what the actual temperature is unless you have a pyrometer or similar instrument as the adjustment dial only indicates high/low.

Without actually seeing the heat gun, I think your idea would be correct. The "high" setting would be the one with the higher temperature, ie. the 600 degree setting.
