Correct.

This would also work. Just a bit more elaborated, IMHO.
Setting povray to multi-arch=foreign means, that its
interfaces (provided to povray-includes in this case) are
architecture independent.
multi-arch=allowed is usually needed, when packages can
have both behaviours. Like for example python: Scripts
will be happy with python:any. But the hypothetical
python-foobin:i386 will need python:i386.
So if povray has a binary interface (being able to load
shared objects on demenand as plugins, for example), your
option is really correct.
Anyway: I am happy with both variants!
So if you feel better about the allowed/any-variant, go
ahead.
