Present perfect/ past simple

Are these two sentences correct?

It is not how I imagined it would be.

I is not how I have imagined it would be.

In the case of a past reference I would say: It was not how I had imagined it.

Can I assume that the Present Perfect tense can also be used in the same way as the Past Perfect tense? the Past Perfect tense is the 1st event and the Past Simple tense is the 2nd.
