Your protection scheme sounds similar to the one from eReader where the DRM info is locked into the document not the device.
Yes the migration process will work irrespective of where you bought the PDF files, and only requires an connection to Adobe servers. There are some cavaets however.

The most important is that you must still be able to read the PDF file (in either Adobe Reader 6,7 or DE 1.0) on the computer where you are doing the migration.

The second is the PDF files which you purchased are associated with an existing activation account. DE 1.5 will associate only one such activation account with an Adobe ID. This works relatively well if you purchased all of you books on one computer. If however you purchased your content on multiple computers, and those computers were activated separate accounts (either different named activations, or "Easy" anonymous activations), you will not be able to consolidate all of you books under a single AdobeID.
