Yes, that's correct - but of course the old GlobalVariable transformers will still work if contained in a workspace opened in 2007 I think the issue that forced the change was using Counters in Custom Transformers. Counters use GlobalVariables to keep a running count where several Counters use the same count sequence. This would happen automatically where used in a Custom Transformer (because each instance of the transformer would share the same Counter name). But this isn't always the effect you need. So GlobalVariables simply became Variables and now have a local/global setting to determine if they should apply to the workspace as a whole or separately within each instance of a custom transformer.
