My setup looks very similar except I don't have the ethernet to the TiVO since my Roamio does MoCA directly and my bridge is an ECB3500T.
You're drawing also demonstrates a good point -- that you can use a Verizon STB if you have a MoCA bridge. Folks should note however that if this were a DVR, you would not be able to use Verizon's portal or app to remotely program it unless you determined the proper port forwards.
My (ancient) TiVo Premiere HD (Series 3? Version 3? Something like that.) uses an Ethernet connection for the programming guide, updates to the TiVo itself and I think VOD (for Amazon, NetFlix). I don't think it gets any guide info unless it's connected. I did have to set up firewall rules in both directions so that the TiVo app on my phone or the web site can talk to it. I had to set up firewall rules for the NIM 100, too, for that matter. The Verizon STB box, though, gets everything off the coax.
