I am installing a moisture barrier to the inside basement foundation

A single line of (thin) strapping nailed into the concrete, then the
polly stapled to that? A dab of acoustic sealant every foot or so?

That looks like only construction adhesive holding the strapping
on... a
Actually - looking closely at the diagram, it looks like a line of
caulk and then the moisture barrier and THEN the strapping...
I agree and the strapping appears to be nailed or screwed to the
concrete.
