I assume that even if your processors support it and it's enabled at the OS level you're not effected if your DASD subsystems don't have the ZHPF feature installed. Is this assumption correct?

Folks who performed z/OS maintenance after early October 2010 should carefully check their systems for exposure to this issue. A reminder: To be exposed, you must have 1) applied the PE PTFs, AND 2) actually have PDSE data sets on zHPF-eligible DASD devices. You can issue D IOS,ZHPF to determine whether your system supports zHPF in the first place. At z/OS 1.11 anyway, ZHPF=NO is the default.
