Correct.

Ah, bad wording. It means exactly the opposite. In git, I've just
changed it to the following:
[...]
This macro has no impact on the FreeType API, only on its
_implementation_. For example, using FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD when
calling FT_Render_Glyph still generates a bitmap that is 3 times
wider than the original size in case this macro isn't defined;
however, each triplet of subpixels has R=G=B.
