Transit vs Stopover

Dear OW experts,

As you all possibly know, I am in the midst of planning a OW Explorer RTW ex-New ZEaland. I have a question --
1. As I understand, I can fly from NZ to Europe without counting Asia as a continental that I have traveled, if I only use it as a transit stop. What is the definiion of a transit stop? A stopover is another stop that is more than 24 hours, so am I correct to assume that a transit stop is a city that I do not stay more than 24 hours?

2. Therefore, if I fly from SYD to NRT on a daylight flight (arriving at 8pm), and fly out from NRT the next afternoon at 12pm, NRT will only be considered a transit stop. AM I right? Because I spend less than 24 hours there...

Thanks for any comments!
