You are correct to assume that you can't add an existing inactive mailbox to a retention policy. The guidance in this article implies that you would have to add a mailbox to a retention policy before the mailbox is made inactive. So the sequence would be to add active mailbox to an explicit retention policy and then make the mailbox inactive.
