I agree that this rule is different from the HS equivalent (in HS, it's *supposed to be* an immediate violation to run OOB on your own volition).
This rule, though, has nothing to do with the OP, and nothing to do with "establishing" back inbounds.
I can see where it might be part of the confusion for some.
