Yes, you're correct. They just word it slightly differently:

Right at the beginning there are 5 point form features. The last two describe your question, except that they refer to "reads" instead of "gets".
This probably adds to your confusion, but when they mean "read" or "get", it really means fetching an entity directly - by key or id. If you call the python 'get' function with an attribute other than the key or id, it's actually issuing a query, which is eventually consistent (unless it's an ancestor query).
