I guess it would only apply in the case where a unit or units were completely off the hill assaulting units in an elevation change hex.

That's correct. The rule that applies here is rule 8.23, which states that a hex contains limiting terrain if the terrain drawing fills more than one quarter of the hex. So if a hill line runs through a hex and the hill terrain in the hex fills up 25% or more of the hex, the hex is considered to be a hill hex and thus at a higher elevation than any non-hill hexes adjacent to it. The same applies to 40-meter, 60-meter, and 80-meter hill lines running through hill hexes; if a 40-meter hill line runs through a hill hex and the 40-meter terrain fills more than 25% of the hex, the hex is at 40-meter elevation and thus at a higher elevation than any 20-meter hill hexes adjacent to it.
