DEP usage on stolen IOS device

To anyone just wanted to make sure I understand how DEP works with stolen IOS devices.
If a devices is DEP and is stolen, since its in DEP in the Airwatch console I can device wipe it and this erase all the work information, then when the person who stolen the device  tries to activiate it, it goes into the DEP mode which the user doesn't have the login so basically its bricked. Is this the same work flow if the device is single App mode and the device is DEP

If the iOS device is in single app mode but online it would honor the device wipe. If it was offline the thief would still be able to erase the device using Recovery Mode and then they would be unable to enroll so it is still bricked to them.
