Only one comment -please see below. Otherwise, this looks fine

                                           did you mean JPNIC here?

APNIC will assign the sTLA to the ISP but will inform JPNIC who will
then relay the information to the ISP.

Yes - all seems fine. The amount, as I said previously is calculated
based on the per address fee where "per address" equals a /48 in IPv6,
which to be precise is $245.76 USD.
