Put into drop zone is not the same as destroyed. A card can be destroyed without being put into drop zone.

For example, if you attack a monster, and your opponent does not nullify the attack, but uses Soulguard to save it, it is destroyed, but not put into drop zone. If your opponent does not use Soulguard to save it, then it is destroyed, and subsequently put into drop zone.

Inversely, a card can be put into drop zone without being destroyed.

The most common example of this is calling on top of a monster, thereby replacing it, and/or "oversizing", which is calling a monster that causes your field to go over the size limit, forcing you to choose a number of your monsters to put into the drop zone until your field is within the size limit. An example of this through an effect is "Dimension Door -Origin-" of Vanity Husk, which just puts a card on the field into the drop zone without destroying it.

If Obituary is destroyed, if it actually entered the drop zone, and didn't just remain on the field, then its effect will activate, causing your opponent to discard a card.
