Correct?

Yes. If headlights are off and parking brake pulled, DRL stay off

That's the way I would prefer it to be. Sometimes I like to sit in the car with the engine running with the DRL's off.

... Orange Blvd time eh?

BTW, the way I want to do this mod is the same as that of the iJDM kit. Installation Guide for Nissan 370Z LED DRL Enable Kit

Ok, so looking at that mod, I would not do this without a diode in place. The tap between the parking light and DRL should have a diode to prevent the DRL from powering the parking light during non-headlight usage.
The relay that engages DRL disengages power when headlights/parking lights turn on. Without a diode, you feeding power back into the parking light circuit because you are tapping in after relay
IPDM method does not allow for turning off unless at a switch, but does not risk circuit jumping either
