Yes, you are correct. This is covering a loophole in wording. People have been known to return cars after hours when they know they have damage and when contacted about it claim it wasnt there when they returned it.
This paragraph makes it clear that until the car is inspected or checked in by an avis employee, the car is still your responsibility. Anyone who thinks this is a bad clause would need to cite an example for me to think otherwise. To me its common sense. Return the car outside posted hours, its just like parking the car on the street overnight. You take your chances.
