This is correct, and OOTP's sequencing is incorrect.

Doesn't matter when the "next" reliever is brought in, the winning pitcher should be the guy who gets the 3rd out of the inning, regardless of when he's replaced.

Technically speaking, if Pitcher Adams gets the 3rd out of the 6th inning and is due to bat 1st in the 7th and is pinch hit for, he's out of the game and replaced by who ever pinch hit for him in the lineup and the game.
Now say Pinch Hitter Zachary gets on base...and he's slower than molasses going up a hill in January. You pinch run with Pitcher Brown who is the fastest guy on the bench and you don't want to burn through another hitter. Again, technically, a pitcher is now back in the game for the reliever who got the 3rd out to end the 6th inning.

No matter how you slice it, Adams is still the pitcher of record, regardless of when the "pitching change" is made.
