Correct. He declared war on us because he knew once Japan attacked the US and Britain made us officially allies and our aid to England and our actions in the Atlantic would increase drastically. In short when Japan brought us into the war on England's side war with Germany was inevitable. Hitler figured to make the best of a bad situation and declare war first so it looked like he was sticking by his ally Japan in the hopes they would reciprocate by attacking Russia.
