Do you (or anyone else) know if I've understood this correctly?

I, for one, have never heard of this law. Yes, if you register for copyright, you must send two hard copies or (now) one digital copy for their records. If you are not registering for copyright, I've never heard of a requirement to send them copies anyway.
If it is a law, it's one of the most unknown laws on the U.S. books.
