The RightAlt+M toggle still works to switch between two distinct states, no matter the name used for those states (which is considered enabled and which is considered disabled).
Anyway, LAM state (enabled or disabled) is independent of Ctrl+C state and active (has an effect) in both Ctrl+C states (states with "Relative Mouse Mode" ON or OFF). The combined result is obviously different in each of those 4 possible combinations.
Please read my description of the way that ship behaves in modes A, B, C and D and tell me if you found something incorrect (other than the names that I used for each state).
If you're going to consider a Ctrl+C state as enabled by default, it should be Interactive Mode. If you spawn your ship for the first time, press RightAlt + M to disable LAM, you will immediately revert to Interactive Mode. In this way, you could consider IM to be "on" by default. Enabling LAM if IM was previously selected takes precedence and essentially overrules IM. Not the case in RM, where it works on top of it.
From this point, you can press Ctrl+C to switch between Relative and Interactive - - with no LAM enabled. These are the two primary flight modes.
So yes - there are 4 possible combinations:
Interactive Mode
Relative Mode
Relative Mode + LAM (additive)
LAM Mode
