Regarding NEC 682.33: It is my understanding that only the disconnect or service need an equipotential grounding plane- not the motor controller or any other equipment on the load side of the disconnect. Is this correct?

The EPG has nothing to do with the circuits of a pool. This is a bond wire that usually bonds together all metal in the pool , walkways, rebar etc and all metallic parts associated with the pool, It does not get connected to any circuit conductors or EGC.

Section 682.33 (B) is for areas not requiring equipotential planes. It looks like you are correct.
