As the OP stated, it doesn't say if they need a ($0) ticket or not. So no, it is not definitive.
But then a lot of things Amtrak puts out is not always clear. I was booking a promo ticket some time ago and it clearly stated "other terms apply" in the find print, but failed to state what those terms were. I even called in and the agent had no clue what those terms were. I presume had there been an interruption in travel that I would not be re accommodated on other trains.
