Yes, your A065356((2^(12k+6)-1)/3) = 6k+3 gives with k=1 the same 
counterexample
87381 which I gave.

So the equivalence was disproved,
but that the implication holds, that I already proved.

Note that Ralf actually uses the implication arrow ==> (instead of <==>) 
in his
100 conjectures paper (conjectures 111 & 112):
(Found at http://me.in-berlin.de/~rws/mathpub.html )

With this I agree.
