For instance, I plan to travel to Switzerland, and fill in an employer's form myself - I am a Managing Director of my company in Switzerland, so I can sign myself on behalf of the company (and I have foreign passport and foreign address in addition).
In that case you have no problem indeed, as you can provide all evidences needed to a police officer in case of control.

Yes, this is exactly what I was pointing out.

Journalists/media always struggle to deliver correct and non-ambiguous information. There is no requirement of a PCR test to enter France from Schengen & non-Schengen EU/UK.
