All of these are CDC-recommended tips to protect yourself from wildfire smoke except for:
Use paper comfort/dust masks for protection.
If you are told to stay indoors, do so, and keep your indoor air as clean as possible.
Pay attention to local air quality reports, the U.S. Air Quality Index, and visibility guides if they are available.
Use an air filter.
Do not add to indoor pollution.
You are correct. Do not rely solely on dust masks for protection. Paper “comfort” or “dust” masks commonly found at hardware stores trap large particles, such as sawdust. However, these masks will not protect your lungs from smoke. An “N95” mask, properly worn, however will offer some protection. See CDC's Eight Tips for Protecting Yourself from Breathing Wildfire Smoke.
