I think you are right about what kanji-input-code means, but what
I think he is saying is that if you use another input method, 
you should set the appropriate kanji code for that input method.
This fits into what he is saying below...

Here is says Canna returns EUC, so you should set kanji-input-code
to EUC.  Following this reasoning, say another Japanese input method
returned another coding, you should set the appropriate coding
in kanji-input-code.

Yes, I think that is what he means.
