That is correct, directmedia (previously canreinvite) won't have any
effect on whether p2p bridging can happen; but p2p bridging will not be
used (because it would be less efficient) if directmedia can be used.
It's a three step progression: generic bridge (using ast_frames in the
core) -> p2p bridge (using RTP packets) -> direct media (media goes
directly between the endpoints). There is only direct control over
whether the call can move from step 1 to step 2/3, and whether it can
move into step 3 at all.
