It's a joke, it doesn't need to be true, only to have a kernel of truth like all good jokes. And as a recent Emacs convert after years of vim I must say that kernel is there. The breadth and scope of Emacs is extreme. Talking seriously it's obviously not an OS, but it's not an editor either. It's a framework for people to build their editors on. While vim for example is a great editor right out of the box and even the best evil integrations are not 100% up there with it.
