I had been under the impression that the three-year rule only applied to someone who obtained their residency via marriage, but I think you're right. The Guide to Naturalization seems to imply that the three-year rule applies to anyone who is married to and living with a USC, and has been for three years, regardless of the origin of their residence status.

So if a person acquired US residency independently, and married a USC a year later, they should, if I read this right, also be able to apply for citizenship right after their third wedding anniversary, shaving a full year off from when they would otherwise be eligible. Interesting.
