Unfortunately, that (the underlined part) is not what the rule says is the standard.
Assuming the PU was not holding up the pitch when the batter stepped across, and assuming the pitcher was on the plate ready to pitch (SP or NFHS) or was taking or had already taken the signs from the catcher (ASA FP), this was the correct call.
