So LSU and Ole Miss got to count their games against Arkansas and TAMU as conference games under that set up?

Prior to the SEC, the SEC would establish which "non-conference" games would count as conference games. They were called "designated" or "wildcard" games. It's a common practice that still goes on.

LSU had Tulane designated at a "conference" game in 1966 and 1968 (obviously triggered by Tulane leaving the SEC) and TCU in 1968.

Ole Miss had Houston in 1958, and Arkansas in 1964.
