Is there technically a rule that says that in order for there to be a valid
contact, that both stations send both call signs somewhere during the exchange?

Number 5 is the only time He sends Your callsign. So it verifies that
He is talking to You. My opinion is that 5 is optional. You can
usually tell if the other station is talking to you just by the timing
of the QSO.
