Your understanding is correct.  A couple of things complicate this -- an 
HTCondor job can consist of many Unix processes, so which process status 
would you want to display?  Also, the process status in ps can check 
very frequently, from "R"unning to "I"dle to "D"isk wait, etc.

If you really want to get this data back to the submit side, your job 
could spawn a script that periodically looks in /proc to figure of the 
processes state of one of the processes in your job, then uses 
condor_chirp to update a custom job attribute in the job classad in the 
schedd.

Stepping back a bit, what do you want to do with this information?
