Yes, the doc has said that since at least Emacs 22.  But it
has not been true until now, AFAICT.  In the case in point,
my *Completions* frame uses my standalone minibuffer frame,
but parameter `minibuffer' in *Completions* remained nil,
even during completion (i.e., during use of the active
minibuffer).
