Yep. To be honest this is mainly another story highlighting how everyone should be using third-party downloadable browsers from the Play store rather than the built-in AOSP Browser which on the vast majority of handsets will never see an update.
Note this only works for actual browser apps. Many other kinds of apps will use the built in WebView controls for displaying HTML which use the built-in browser. Google have mitigated this a bit in later versions of android (from memory; Lollipop upwards) by making the WebView bits of Android downloadable via the Play store.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
