But Iā€™m still a bit confused: in summary, if im running RF + Agnostic, does that effectively translate to 20% mana degen/sec all the time (a bit more with MoM)?

Yes, if the damage taken from RF (and any other degen) is more than or equal to 20% of your max mana per second (which is very likely).

If RF is somehow dealing less damage than 20% of mana per second, then the mana drain will only be enough to exactly counter degen.

However, this doesn't and can't account for other forms of life recovery that are also countering RF - it can't "see" any other forms of life recovery, just total life loss per second, so it scales it's effect to counter that, even if you have enough regen to already fully counter the damage.
