Smile Color me confused

I am a novice, both to the lake and boating in general, at this point we have not even used the anchor. Reading this entire thread has left me confused and I wanted to see if I understand the "rules" which may differ from common courtesy
The 10th post in this thread speaks to rafting rules. PART Saf-C 407 RAFTING RULES. If I read this correctly rafting and anchoring are different, and the rules around them are as well. As I continue through the thread what I am gathering is that it is (technically) legal to anchor (not overnight) anywhere on the lake as long as you are anchored at least 150ft from shore (not deck).
If there are more than 2 of you anchored close to one another (less than 50 ft?) then you are considered a "raft"
So that leaves me with it is "legal" (right is a different question) to anchor in a NRZ - as long as you maintain more than the min distance to another boat?
Just asking
