Does Corner A experience end zone wind loads as per asce 7, chapter 28?

I believe there is a figure in the commentary explaining this. There is an existing thread too.

Hi maybe this is simple for you guys, but I want to confirm it's correct as I marked. There are some complicate building shapes, so I just thinking about this maybe helpful. Thanks

This is for Chapter 30 (Components and Cladding), does the same apply to Chapter 28 (MWFRS) too?

The "Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7" has an example of a U-shaped building. It notes that L-shaped buildings are not specifically covered by chapter 28 and outside the scope of research for the "pseudo pressures" of chapter 28. It recommends using chapter 27 for L-shaped buildings. Chapter 27 doesn't have special corner wind zones.
