.....So if you are cleared to a fix that is related to an approach, and you see a published hold on the approach plate, but it is not your destination, you do not use that hold. However, if u lost comms, and arrived to your IAF at your destination, you would hold as published on the approach plate until your ETA!!!!
This doesn't seem that difficult to me. The NOTE that you quote is specific to the paragraph that is it associated with. It doesn't mean that every time you're cleared to a fix, you dig out approach plates to see if there's a published approach.
But, overall, I agree with your conclusion. Hold as published, if the fix is your destination airport approach. Otherwise, do not.
