"ASSISTS are earned when a unique ALLIANCE ROBOT POSSESSES the ALLIANCE’S BALL in a unique ZONE". Your interpretation is accurate, and I don't see anything particularly crazy about it.
Presumably the scoring input panels will require referees to select zone and robot using a panel similar to figure 3-4 (though I hope the UI is rotated if they're standing beside the long edge of the field). That will serve as an overt reminder of the need to identify specific robots in possession in specific zones.
I'd be more worried about the fact that referees won't be able to see underneath robots' bumpers to determine when the robots are actually in particular zones, rather than straddling the lines.
