Yup, that's how I read the rules. MAR would essentially just pretend that they finished in the points.
I think the only exception would be if a HoF team (103, 341, 365) qualified outside, since they're already exempted from counting against the MAR total.
Edit:
Here's the rule listed below. It doesn't say what slot gets removed, but I would assume a "points" slot.
District Teams do not earn points for their actions at any Regionals they may attend, but are still eligible for Team
awards at those events, and any benefits that may go along with winning those awards, such as earning their way to the
FIRST Championship. However, if a District Team does earn a slot at the FIRST Championship while attending a Regional
event, that slot does count against the total Championship allocation the District is receiving for the season.
