This applies to any type of approach.
Well, that is not true, if you work under EASA rules. And there is a very good reason for that. But then, the only one you hurt by correcting the DA on a Baro VNAV approach is your own airline by making it much less likely in marginal weather to successfully land, and stupid competition is always the best kind. So carry on
