It would work, but it would power up those light from the same circuit as the stock fog lights. If you're using both LEDs in stock and new fog lights, that have total power less than stock incandescent fog lights, then that would be fine.
If you do this that way, you might as well throw out most of this harness since you don't need relay and switch, just two plugs that connect to light bulbs and some wire, but I'm guessing you don't want to modify this harness.
This way switch and relay are still required. Disconnect one/both and no power to the lights.
If they draw more power total than stock, then it might be too much current for that circuit. Might work for some time, but might overheat something.
To do this properly, with this wiring harness, you need to connect #2 to bat +, and figure out which wire from the switch that they provide triggers the relay. Then power that relay from the stock fog fuse. This way you will only draw extra power for relay's coil, not for two new bulbs and relay's coil.
To do this even better, get a different harness that have bat+ bat- and trigger wires, without the switch, since you don't want to use the switch anyways.

What point could I modify the wire to a single wire to connect to the fog light fuse.
You can't use fog light fuse since that fuse always have power, which is later switched by the relay, but there's no add-a-fuse things for the relays. In this case you must tap into the one of the wires going to the stock fog light bulbs.
I have really good idea for you. Get something like:
Those should plug in in-between the factory fog light plug and factory fog light bulb. Then we simply cut them in half.
Then wiring would go like:
Bottom connectors come from this thing that I linked, top you can buy separate or borrow from the harness that you have.
Do two of those, for each bulb. Wire between oem fog light bulb and oem connector from the car can be really short, wire from those two to the new fog light should be long enough to reach the new fog light (duh!).
I don't know how much you paid for the harness that you already have and if you can return it, but since you won't use most of it, it might be better to buy separate connector that will plug into your new fog lights.
There's ton of them on Amazon, just search for "H11 plug". Although you might need extra wire to make them long enough.
Then connect fog light to parking light circuit. They will turn on with sidemarkers, and will blind when you unlock the car with the remote, and will be independent from the factory fog lights.
If you want them to be dependent on the factory fog light, either cut oem wires, or buy harness like one I posted.
If connecting them to sidemarkers is fine, then you need different wiring harness (like one in that thread that you posted) as modifying existing harness will be too complicated.
I attached an add a fuse adapter to the driver's side headlight and attached the inspire fog lights to them. For the fuse I used a 10 amp fuse instead of the 15 amp fuse that came with the inspire fog light wiring.
I cut off the 15 amp fuse from the fog light wiring harness and soldered the two wires together.
I ghetto rigged the fog light switch to fit :
The inspire fog lights only come on when the headlights are on. They stay on when the high beams are on. At any point I can switch them off.
