I think that is a reasonable conclusion to make (assuming these findings are correct). The article says the same:
>Ironically, the lack of dark matter in these UDGs strengthens the case for dark matter, the researchers say. It proves that dark matter is a substance that is not coupled with normal matter, since they can be found separately.

Only if normal matter can be separated out from the dark matter and left to form its own structures would such a galaxy be possible.”
