Oggers, it refers to the bit at the end of an approach, no reference to MSA.
Yes the approach. That is what gets you down from safety altitude to minimums. I have shown you the regs. You are interpreting them differently from me, so here is some further guidance from the CAA:
User-defined approaches can be dangerous and are not authorised. [Safety Sense Leaflet #25]
For operations in IMC, below safety altitude the use of user waypoints, and modification of the published procedure using temporary waypoints or fixes not provided in the database, is potentially hazardous and should never be attempted. The manual entry of coordinates into the RNAV system by the flight crew is not permitted for RNAV operations within the terminal area and should never be done below safe altitude in any location. [CAP 773 Flying RNAV (GNSS) Non-Precision Approaches in Private and General Aviation Aircraft]
It is in the ANO, it is in Part-NCO, it is spelled out in CAP773. You cannot descend below safety altitude in IMC unless you are using an approved procedure.
