Your impression was mistaken. See the first line under Section 3.1.4--nothing about when they go in, just that they go in.

Now, if you happen to score 'em in Auto mode, you get a bonus. But if you don't score 'em in Auto, you spend time clearing them out by scoring them, for standard point values, and THEN you can start the cycles. It's pretty bad if you can't clear all your auto balls quickly.
