Correct.

Ah, bad wording.  It means exactly the opposite.  In git, I've just
changed it to the following:

  [...]

  This macro has no impact on the FreeType API, only on its
  _implementation_.  For example, using FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD when
  calling FT_Render_Glyph still generates a bitmap that is 3 times
  wider than the original size in case this macro isn't defined;
  however, each triplet of subpixels has R=G=B.
