Have a nice walk, see the Amazon exhibit, find someplace cheap to eat and get the train back.
Exactly right, although I'm not sure what the "Train #980" business is - Every train leaving YVR goes to King Edward Station.
Note that the walk is uphill: The Conservatory is at the top of former quarry, in a neighbourhood called "Little Mountain."

So I strongly suspect you'll depart from the International gates and you'll interact with CBP in IAH.
