You are correct. The distinction is actually less important than the main point of the article which is that diligently paying off technical debt in a long term software project pays off because it allows you to move faster.
The distinction helps me being honest with myself about what my role really is, and this means that I am less likely to be overly clever where it is not needed, which would lead to technical debt.
