Correct. RPC codes only apply to the playback of DVD media that
contains data in DVD organized format designed for a player.
As a side note, RPC-1 drives have not been manufactured in 15 years. All
drives licensed after 2000 are required to use RPC-2. Many DVD players
(even with RPC-2) have Region 0 as an option, meaning that they will
play any disc, regardless of Region spec. Since PCs never use Region 0,
you generally need a player that tends to ignore the Region
specification, regardless of how it is set.
VLC in particular ignores Region codes.
