Yes, that is actually the interpretation.
If you don't believe that it is, how would you rule on an initial play that is bobbled? If the ball hits F6's glove and falls immediately in front of her, she goes to grab it and R2 runs in to her, is that interference? If the ball trickles away about a foot and F6 doesn't even have to move her feet to grab it and R2 runs in to her, is that interference? If I line drive hits the heel of her glove, pops out and is airborne right in front of her and R2 crashes in to her, is that interference?
Tell us what your/ASA's guideline is for covering this play.
Just because you never heard of the "step and a reach" applied to ASA doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
