That's sounds good enough for me. Reading my manual (I'm new to BMW) it looks like 'Standby State' is the actual term and is activated when either front door is opened from 'Idle State' which is when the car is locked and parked. I'm not making these terms up. When the car is running it's termed 'Drive-Ready State'. Man, to think they actually pay someone to come up with this terminology...
Anyway, unless you can figure out a way to change the Cabin Air Filter without opening either front door (the only kind of door I have on my 430i) you're going to be in 'Standby State' by virtue of having an open door so you can enable Recirculation and select a slow fan speed and the HVAC system would remain in that operating mode while the filter was changed. That works!
