Almost but not quite: as you say, \part is above \chapter in the
hierarchy, so you cannot have a separate introduction chapter outside a
part. But you can have three parts:

> \part{Introduction}
> \chapter{Introduction}
>
> \part{For beginners}

Just use the book class:

#+LATEX_CLASS: book

Then one-star headings become parts, two-star headings become chapters,
etc.
