Not quite, the part about the yellow system taking over as long as the switch is on providing full service sans the autobrake wasn't in there.
Mike Ray (former American Airlines Captain) mentioned this procedure in his A320 check ride book.
Might be configured differently in the US, or a special configuration for a large customer. Haven't seen it in the airlines i have flown for, neither heard about that. Not saying that the SOP doesn't exist, many airlines do have their own set quite different from the airbus SOP set. And as Uplinker mentioned there might have been a reason at some point for that. I have never flown anything older than a 900 MSN retrofitted to the newest standard, and since im fairly new on the Bus, six years now, it certainly could have been a thing in the past.
Is alternate brake then still pressured by green or by yellow system?
Yellow.
