Punt Fielded By Kicking Team Near Goal Line

[seanireland]

p. 45 Table 6-4 NOTE: K is in team possession during a kick. A kick ends when a player gains possession or when the ball becomes dead by rule.

K catches the ball in the field of play, but doesn't gain possession until his first point of contact with the ground, which is the EZ. Therefore, I would call it a touchback. Please help me to clarify if i am wrong.
