Well for one thinf in Fed, not only must the pitcher be on the rubber, F2 must be ready to catch a pitch and the batter must be in the box to call play. To any extent, you are right. Maybe the pitcher is on the rubber but if I am not ready or my partner is not ready I still have time out. To me the OBR rule you sited is the must. If the pitcher is not on the rubber you cannot call play.

The catcher does not have to be ready to catch a pitch. The catcher could be standing with his back to the pitcher as long as both of his feet are iniside the catcher's box. FED rule 5-1-4.
