Correct. Marketing carrier determines the earning rules. Within that there may be additional criteria or restrictions, but for DL-marketed flights the only exception to MQM earning is award travel.
Not sure if you're on a Delta-marketed flight? There's an easy way to check. The marketing carrier is determined by the two-letter airline code in the flight number. So if your flight has a DL flight number, it qualifies for our mileage crediting rules. If you are instead flying a partner-marketed flight, the miles, MQMs and MQDs you earn will vary by carrier.
