Incorrect. Acclimatised is when you've spent THREE consecutive local nights in a time-zone two hours wide.
By the way, you don't need to have been free of duty furing the night. You can be on night turnarounds each night and still be acclimatised.

The day off after leave is mandatory (so far) but is
not for acclimatisation for a ULR or anything else. The old FOM requirement is that you're back in Dubai "in good time, properly rested and ready to commence the first duty."
They put out a "letter" a few months back saying for acclimatisation you'd be rostered a ULR trip thusly:
