The author is trying to conflate CGI and VFX. But you can absolutely apply visual effects without computer generated imagery.
The sound engineer has a lot of control over how a violin sounds in a recording. But it would be asinine to say that the violin becomes an electrical instrument as soon as it gets recorded, and all of the credit belongs to the sound engineer. But this is essentially the argument OP is making.
Maybe to frame it another way, when George Miller said "90 percent of the movie doesn't have CGI", he's probably framing the total effort and manpower of the movie as an enterprise. It took a team of hundreds of people months to fabricate all of the vehicles, develop the stunts, film the thing etc - all in the Namibian desert. In comparison, it would be very easy to believe that the visual post processing could account for less than 10% of the total effort.
