Almost as you say. A 5 minute countdown starts as soon as you enter the room behind the hacking panel, so the maniac spawns at around 5:50, whatever you do on the map. You don't even need to escort the squads or rush them. You'll just need to escort 2 squads or kill them off if you want to leave the map since only then will the door open for the exit.

I usually took the second squad to the exit at 4:30 so when they leave, the maniac spawns in after a few seconds, and I could exit soon after. Also the drop is rather luck dependant for this one. Got 8 neuros, 1 systems and 0 chassis from 12 runs with Nekro's Desecrate and once getting 2x neuros at the same time.
