i thought it doesn't matter at long distances for DOF even w wide aperture cuz it's far away... only affects stuff that is closer... is that right?

As a general rule, you are correct. The closer the image, the more the DOF will have an impact.

Basically, yes. But it also depends on the focal length of the lens.
