Uh, yes :)

That is, the IPV4LL->BOUND transition *implies* this but a transition to the BOUND state can now occur from any number of prior states (not exactly sure of the full set of prior states but they at least include REBIND, IPV4LL, CARRIER,...). Perhaps any state transition to (!IPV4LL && !EXPIRED) indicates IPV4LL state machine is no longer active?

Correct.
If the last state run is IPv4LL then it's an IPv4LL address, otherwise
there is no state (expired, no carrier, etc) or a DHCP (or static,
fallback, etc) address.
