The implication is that modifying a COTS item makes it a custom item.
Is my interpretation correct?

That's how I wanted to read it as well, but that's definitely not how the GDC response is worded.
"The 2008 kit-bot chassis was custom-made for the 2008 FRC competition."
The restriction against using it on this year's robot follows from that simple declaration, not from a distinction between "unmodified COTS" and "modified".
