That is incorrect. The air pump pushes air into the exhaust manifolds via the air tubes, diverter valve, and appropriate tubing. This added air reacts with carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons in the catalytic converter to reduce unwanted emissions.

The EGR valve takes exhaust gas from the heat crossover within the intake manifold and recirculates exhaust gas into the intake.

Not quite correct either. The air injected into the manifolds raises the temp of the exhaust gasses during start to help the cat light off faster. After a set duration (just seconds) the PEDEs valve (diverter) then ports the air to the cat to help it get up to operating temp faster so it can start doing its job. Then the diverter switches to "dump" and ports the air to atmosphere, through the little round "can" thing near the pump.
