No, of course it isn't true.

Correct.
This is intended to be a clarification of the present policy, but it's poorly worded. ETA: This is a change, but only for third-party lounges where UA routinely guested *G passengers in. You will now need to be flying in J to get that access. (That's in line with several other airlines across *A).
At Star Alliance lounges -- anything with the *G logo -- *G members are welcome, with the ever-present carve-out that UA*G don't have access to the United Club when flying on domestic itineraries, unless they are also a United Club member.
