If you arrive at RAINEE as the IAF, you must fly the hold-in-lieu course

To clarify, I need only cross RAINEE, do a standard entry (direct,
parallel, or teardrop), then cross RAINEE again inbound on the final
approach course, for a total of 2 crossings?

Exactly.

Similar to a procedure turn?

Not only is it similar to a procedure turn, it IS a procedure turn.
