Yes, it's different in the book and in the movie. In the book Harry puts *the diary* inside his dirty sock and hands it to Lucius, who removes the diary from inside the sock and throws the sock away, to be caught by Dobby. 

In the movie, on the contrary, Harry puts *the sock* inside the diary and hands it to Lucius, who, for whatever reason, gives it to Dobby, who opens the diary, takes the sock and drops the diary. 

As we can see, in the book Lucius keeps the diary, while in the movie he doesn't, and it's quite possible, as you say, that Harry took the diary back to DD after Lucius left :-).
