Yes, different rules do apply depending on how the ball gets into the endzone, however, on this situation the ball would have been spotted on the 1 yd line even on the kickoff. The reason is because the player brought the ball into the field of play before his knee touched. Watch the replay and you can tell how hard he was trying to stop but just wasn't able (he knew he messed up). No big deal, ended up not having any effect on the game. It was really an easy call for the official.
