Does AMT apply if you exercise and hold immediately after joining a startup (i.e., no money has been raised since joining/strike price has not changed)? From reading various articles online, it seems like it only applies to the difference in value between the strike price at grant time and strike price at exercise.

No, it does not. It's the difference in value when you exercise. However you expose yourself to a big risk if you exercise immediately after joining, depending on how much the options cost you.
