If true, all those getting the pass saved the trouble of testing.
Note that the bolded part applies to travel from another EU country to France, NOT from the USA to France. The official testing requirements are here:

The USA and UK are amber list countries, so the requirements are:
"
If already vaccinated, you shall provide evidence of your vaccination status, a sworn statement certifying the absence of COVID-19 symptoms and of any contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, as well as results of a virological (PCR) or antigen screening test taken less than 48 hours prior to departure that did not detect any COVID-19 contamination, in order to enter Metropolitan France."
Canada is a green list country so no test required unless not vaccinated.
