No, I don't think you understood what the page says. "The Backspace key
(on most keyboards) generates ASCII code 8. C-h sends the same code"
So, whether you say Backspace sends C-h or C-h sends Backspace, you are
saying the same thing.
This group can only answer questions about Emacs.

Whether it is possible or not is a question for your keyboard and
terminal emulator you might be using. The web page gave instructions
for Unix terminal emulators to make Backspace send C-?. Whether it
works for your terminal emulator or what else works for it, is open.
You may not get an answer to that question in this forum.
