No - you've *still* got it wrong.
On the DS, you need to push the AE-L button to get the effect of the green button (actually setting the shutter speed based on the exposure metering). On both cameras (the *ist-D & the *ist-Ds) activating DOF preview will also activate the metering circuitry, and indicate what the camera considers to be the correct exposure. So the camera will tell you whether it thinks you are going to over-expose or under-expose, but it won't change the selected shutter speed to "correct" the exposure. To actually change the shutter speed to the one the camera thinks is right you have to push the button (green button on the *ist-D, AE-L button on the *ist-Ds).
