Correct.
Hopefully, everyone sees that White 1 must approach the top right corner from the left.
Black 2 is the usual response, after which White 3 makes the most of the upper left thickness.
Through White 10 is a possible continuation with Black pressuring the White right side group,
but White is satisfied with his prospects.
Horrible.
White 1 and 3 is joseki and wrong.
Poking out with Black 4 severely reduces the effectiveness of
White's wall on the left. Furthermore, a White follow up at A
is not worth very much because Black's solid lower right corner
limits White's potential expansion. White already has a losing
game!
