You are taking the conclusion too far.
Paulster and I described ways to use the V6II as an "HSS enabler" in conjunction with native triggers.
So even if the Indra requires the use of Phottix triggers then this doesn't mean one cannot use them with a Pentax camera for HSS photography.
Good on you for consulting the manual, the excerpts you quoted are very useful. In general I'd be cautious regarding statements about avoiding third-party products -- e.g., a somewhat superficial reading of a Pentax camera manual can leave one with the impression that only genuine Pentax lenses are supported -- but the statement about HSS being unavailable in manual mode probably means that PowerSync or the combined use of a suitable Phottix trigger with a V6II are the only options left.
