I recognise that this has many anomalies compared with Aeroplan accrual and also that Latitude would earn more than Premium Economy.
Aegean really need to update their chart.
In theory, yes, something like that. But...
1. Booking classes MUHQVWGSTLAK are interchangeable between Standard, Flex, and Comfort. The fare basis defines Standard (-TG), Flex (-FL), or Comfort (-CO).
2. Standard, Flex, and Comfort fares are used on domestic and transborder routes (which A3 considers international).
So really expect the whole chart to be rewritten sometime in the future. I don't expect A3 to move to crediting by fare basis, so I won't be surprised if A3 makes a lot of the lower booking classes ineligible for credit, much like the LH chart is (LH also has fare families).
