Working the Rim

Pretty much, yes, except for the line drive to right with no one on and possible play at first mentioned above, you mostly disregard the inside-outside theory.

The rule of thumb is to default to staying out, unless coming in generates a clear advantage (like covering batter-runner to third). With most situations, inside and in a calling position and depth too often puts you in a possible throwing lane; to every 90 to a base you see, the opposite and equal 90/270 exists without being in a throwing lane or cutting across defensive players moving to cutoff positions.
