It's more or less correct, though I think it may only count nodes with forwarded ports.
Running a full node takes 100GB of disk space and some dozens of GB in bandwidth every month. It consumes a lot of ram as well, and if you are running a heavy OS you will often notice your computer is slower.
The cost of running a full node is one of the major reasons people oppose a bigger block size. Most wanting bigger blocks don't run their own full nodes.
