The real problem is that the IRS is notified who received form 1095-A and not the actual content of the form that were received. You are correct that if both columns B & C are blank then you don't need to file anything in regards to the 1095-A that you received.
However, it is best to go ahead and enter the 1095-A exactly as it was received in order to just get the return into the IRS computers. They tend to automatically reject any tax return submitted if it shows that the filer received a 1095-A and didn't include it in the tax return.
Alternatively, you can file the return without the 8962 and see if the return is rejected. Then, when it is, you can enter the 1095-A information at that point.
