Yes that's right you can enter anytime as there is no restriction to enter within 12 months, if you qualify under the Partner of New Zealand Citizen (Residence Visa) as married to New Zealand Expatriate category.

If your partner is a New Zealand citizen and the two of you have been living together outside of New Zealand for 5 years or more, you may be granted a permanent resident visa. Your partner will need to be either overseas when you apply, or have been back in New Zealand for less than 3 months.
