I'm making another one for participle, but is the following interpreted as simple participle when the two actions happened sequentially?

Getting off the bus, I purchased a brochure and picked out what I wanted to see.
= After I got off the bus, I purchased a brochure and picked out what I wanted to see.

What not "Having got off the bus"?
 
If the sequence is clear and there's no particular need to emphasise it, we often don't bother using having + past participle.
 
Thanks,but can you quote what case shows unclear sequence?
It's confusing..

Inteviewing four candidates, he called the agency. Unclear.
