Yep, I've only seen it on a blocked PAT where the defense tries to return it and then goes back into their own endzone and tackled there. Its a 1 point safety. It happened in a bowl game a few years ago.

I'm wondering if somehow the kicking team went all the way back to their own endzone and got tackled there if the rule would still apply

On the kick it should be the full two points. It's just one point on the extra try.

Edit: I thought you meant kickoff. On the extra point kick yes. It actually works on NCAA football game.

Blocking team returns it almost all the way back, kicking team strips it, tries to return it and in the process goes into their own end zone and is tackled? I don't see why not. If I were the ref in that situation I'd probably just walk off the field
