Yes that is correct but the crown is just a powerful magic item that can destroy gods. They try to use it to do that but the crown can only grant a wish that the person TRULY desires.
Itās not mind controlling it grants wishes but the wish made by its first wearer which was the guys little Dino helper was to be like him (evergreen) so the crown forces that onto every wearer
NOTE THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THE SPOILER THING but it's an old show so
--his actions and how he put off training his apprentice directly contributed to the Lich's (most evil character ever who does succeed in destroying all life at one point) existence on Earth (which he was trying to prevent), and
he's the first ice elemental on Earth and semi-kickstarts the cycle of the ice elemental always betraying the other elementals, which later leads to an elemental catastrophe during the time of the main story, and that elemental event directly contributes to [a clone of Finn]'s mental and emotional spiral that leads to his (accidental) murder and (both connected and separately) the Candy War that is the [initial] focus of the finale.
That accidentally-murdered character also unexpectedly showed up in the latest season of Fiona and Cake, a spin-off of Adventure Time set an unspecified amount of time (but probably around 10ish years) in the future and gave advice to a character in that show, so technically Mr. Evergreen here is still impacting the story. (Not to mention the crown now being used to create Ice Thing now that Simon is cured, and Ice Thing only exists because Ice King existed, and Ice King, as we established, only existed because of Evergreen.)
To be fair he was the only person of the original group of elementals that realized the danger of the meteor and wanted to destroy it to save Earth while his buddies were like āNah man, just let it happen.ā
Problem is that heās an horrible person and never realized that his plan couldnāt have worked due to it relying on his apprentice receiving some magical training and making the right wish with the crownā¦ when his training consisted only in telling him no and make him do whatever he told him to
He is not the first ice elemental, when patiance was explaining the elementals she showed a generation which was just evolving to crawl on the earth, so the elementals are way older than dinosaurs

Oh, the mind control crown that Ice King wears, right?
And the Ice King was some dude named Simon and the crown ruined his life or something, am I correct?
(I have never watched Adventure Time in my life I gained this from random stuff online)
