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.
