By rule you are correct that if the assistant attends the pre-game meeting they are de facto head coach for that day but I have never seen a game where they didn't return that responsibility back to the rostered head coach and the umpires not allow that.

If the head coach isn't there for the plate conference the coach who is there is now the head coach for that game. Legally they can't return responsibility to the "head coach" who missed the meeting.
