Those 1900 phone numbers would be all the accounts that started the registration/re-registration process with Signal during the time the unauthorized access was available. That process is started on Signal's side and Twilio is only used at the midway point to send a device verification SMS.
Any Signal accounts that did not start that process during that time would not be able to be intercepted or accessed since Twilio has no means to begin it. The three specific accounts mentioned would be the cases found that the verification message was accessed through Twilio to register the account on the attacker's device.
So yes, in effect the 1900 were only the ones around when the attacker got access. Whether the specific three were targeted attacks or random messing around isn't clear though.
