No, it doesn't mean that. There are still thousands of places in the manual
that still quote text using `` and '', so the corresponding info files still
quote “like this” with curved double quotes in thousands of places. The
particular place Drew objected to was confusing, though, and it's one of the
hundreds of places where I toned down the quoting. The manuals were using
quotes too often, and this was independent of the issue of what quoting
characters to use on display.
