No, there's no region face there. He describes a situation where the region is not highlighted, which is perfectly normal in Emacs if you disable transient-mark-mode (temporarily by C-SPC twice, or permanently by turning the mode off). C-w still kills the region, even if the region is not highlighted. There's no bug here.
