Phew, that makes more sense to me, thanks for the clarification.
Perhaps I don't try to remember too hard where these distinctions are
made in RDA (or in FRBR), because from where I come at this data, where
the distinctions are made isn't that important -- so long as the linking
relationships are there one way or another.

On the other hand, while the film being a different work than the book makes

Don't know where you got the idea that an audiobook of the exact text of a
book is a different work. In RDA it certainly is not. It's a new
expression of the same work.
