Yes, that is the actual instructions that they give.
Imagine a relative of yours who is much less computer savvy than you are. What are the chances that the actually enter their real password?
And what value is this check, actually, on a fake password. "Your fake password will take xxx centuries to crack". So how does the non-tech savvy person, who might have a struggle coming up with a real, useful password, then enter one that is similar but not exact and expect a measured response?
So even if they collect "simulated" passwords, password cracking is less about entropy and more about generating dictionaries based on patterns that users are likely to use.
There isn't any value in such a site, and I claim it is less than useful.
