The two could be separated. Maybe rust from being on the DL can stay abstracted and be included in the injury time, but rust do to sitting on the bench or free agent market could be something that has to be overcome by playing.
I don't think there has been any official information that rust is factored into the DL time. I think it is a theory that somebody came up with to ratonalize a player being able to jump right back into playing on the major league roster. That is fine and a reasonable way to interpret it. I just don't think that is offically the way it is implemented.
