Yes.

And that is what I was denying.

There is no model in which {mi djica lo pavyseljirna} is true
and {da poi pavyseljirna zo'u mi djica da} is false.

In particular, in the "real world model", i.e. the model where
the domain of discourse coincides with the extension of {zasti},
{mi djica lo pavyseljirna} is uninterpretable (or false) because
there is no member of the domain of discourse that could be
the referent of {lo pavyseljirna}. So the "real world model" is not
an example of a model where the first sentence is true and the
second false.
