No it does not say that this is the *only* time. I know that you can propose a draw before making a move but in this case the opponent can delay the reply and answer only after you make a move so you earn nothing from offering a draw before playing a move(if you assume your opponent will tell you to play a move before you get an answer. 12.5 means only that it is not right to offer a draw during the opponent's time or to offer a draw again and again.
