Very close. The fielder must have the ball, be picking up the ball, be juggling the ball. The ball must be between the runner and the fielder.

The phrase "about to the receive the ball" is somewhat misleading, because if a hard throw home is 15 feet from the catcher, he's only a split second from catching it—he is certainly "about to receive" it in literal terms. But "about to receive the ball" has a special meaning in ASA. It's defined somewhere in the POEs.
