That is the correct rule in the NFL. The NF, NCAA, and NFL are slightly different for IPF's.

I'm not sure how the NFL rule is written, but the NCAA rule changed this year to the passer must be completely beyond the line to be illegal.

As for NFHS rules, the standard is quite a bit more restrictive than either NFL or NCAA. Case Book 7.5.1 explains, "It is an illegal forward pass because the location of the passer's foremost foot was beyond the neutral zone.".
