I don't have OA in front of me, but if I remember correctly, it worked something like this:

If you quick draw your weapon and attack an opponent in the first round of combat you do extra damage based on a skill check. For every 5 points you roll on your skill check, you do an extra 1d6 points of damage.

Not sure about the specifics though.

That's pretty close ... we can't give too much detail, though, due to the fact that OA isn't open-source material.

Iajutsu Focus is not part of the new CW Samurai and does not officially exist outside of Oriental Adventures campaigns.

That's pretty close AFAIR, but it should be noted that the damage cap is +9d6 and that a higher modifier is only relevant in an iajutsu duel (described in detail in OA), where it can serve as your initiative score.
