Since there WAS a change of possession in the OP, this provision of rule 10 doesn't answer the question.
You want to see the PENALTY listed under 9-4, Illegal Personal Contact:
"Roughing passer (Art. 4) – (S34) – 15 yards and a first down
from the dead ball spot when the dead ball spot is beyond the neutral zone and
there has been no change of team possession, or otherwise 15 yards and first
down from previous spot"
You got it right. Remember this is an automatic first down.
