It is a parallel entry for situation 2) , not a direct entry as you state. The hold calculator which you conveniently linked confirms this.

Inbound Course "course 250° inbound" : 250
Aircraft Heading "flying track 130° to SLC": 130
Answer: Parallel.

Situation 1) was also Parallel:

Inbound Course "on radial 250° inbound": 70 degrees
Aircraft Heading "on radial 130° inbound": 310degrees
Answer: Parallel
