Yep, basically.
The purpose of conscription is to defend your own nation from foreign attacks. When a soldier is deployed abroad, they are no longer fulfilling this fundamental duty; instead, they function like a PMC, meaning PMC rules apply.
For example, if China were to invade Taiwan by force, standard protocol dictates they should issue a warning so foreigners can evacuate or seek refuge in their embassies. Following that period, the death of any foreign soldier there is not considered an attack on their sovereign state, and therefore does not trigger a declaration of war.
