Is this a diagram for how it should work? Not how it actually works? Like I put my stuff in the ~/.bashrc, mostly because I think the debian one says like "put your fun stuff below here" or something. The green and grey lines go through the ~/.bashrc, but both of them go through the "no login" bubble in the diagram. But I know my ~/.bashrc works, so the diagram is a suggestion?

A lot of systems will call various inits from others to give you a more simplified flow. (Closer to what zsh does.) Check out some of those files in /etc/ it is calling as well as ~/.bash_profile. Or, you might not even be in a login shell!
