According to the source code of `org-insert-drawer', I think the manual
is saying that when ARG is non-nil, the function simply calls
`org-insert-property-drawer'.  However, `org-insert-property-drawer' is
not declared interactive, so you wouldn't be able to M-x it.  You could,
however, still run it via elisp:

      M-: (org-insert-property-drawer) RET

Best,
