I didn't read the IM that way. You're pointing to his discussion of cheese
and butter, and why they don't need to be made of chalav yisrael; wouldn't
the milk had been assur already before it was turned into something else?

So he answers that the issur of chalav aku"m isn't chal until it is
owned by a Jew.

Not that the necessary re'iyah, or as RMF would put it, "re'iyah"
(in quotes), applies at any time after milking.

IOW, RMF's shitah appears to be that milk that was not observed during
milking isn't assur until owned by a Jew. And therefore, if turned into
something else before a Jew acquires it, no issur would be chal.

Gut Voch!
