To answer your question, yes, the lead-in feedrate is theoretically where it is not touching the part. However, depending on your settings, it could actually enter the part at a higher than wanted feedrate, due to stock size, lead in strategy, etc
Me personally, I prefer the following:
Lead in, Lead out ramp and cutting feedrate all have the same value. I don't want to hear from the hypothetical crowd about shaving off .0000001 seconds from a toolpath by jacking them up.
