I do believe you are correct in your rule change interp. I think MLB got tired of games that went over five innings and were re-played from the start. I don't know what they do if both teams have to travel the next day and are not scheduled to play again. I suppose they pick it up at the end of the season if it means anything in the standings. This way all stats in the suspended game count, also. They most likely don't get recorded if the game is not made official, however.
