No, that statement is not correct. The mapping you might want depends on
context, and that not only because of language, but also where the language is
used. I.e. it depends on what locale you are using.

And that is why case insensitivity is NOT part of IDNA2008. Instead only case
folded code points are allowed.
See RFC 5895 and the RFC 5890 series IDNA2008 RFCs.
