Hi Nir and welcome to Elm, I also come from Python and I consider the statement to be correct. Please notice that the word "similar" is used not "exactly". For accessing purposes, Elm records behave similar enough to python objects.
If I have a python object with the fields "name" and "surname" I can access those fields with user.name, user.surname. If I have a python dictionary with the same keys, I access them with user["name"] and user["surname"] which is a little bit different from Elm.
