Correct. Unless you have mix retentions on media set which i think everyone has agreed is a bad idea.
Your description below uses 4 tapes ( if one tape per backup is used ) which are all associated to the same volume pool. IMO this is bad practice. I do think it explains it well to the person who originally asked the question however which is nice.
