So if I were to test the results with the search looking for all matches (without parenthesis), I would have to add the '|' characters to each of the found acronyms? That's what the replace line is doing, right?

That change has a side effect of replacing the first instance of the acronym to all uppercase letters definition, so the first instance looks like: PARTS LIST (PL). Would you be aware of something to go around it?
