You are talking about a very small amount of heat.
The moving air through the compartment will almost assuredly result in the metal partition transferring heat into the bottom component, not the reverse.

I assume by partition he means compartmentalized thus keeping the HDD & PSU heat in a separate chamber? If so that does make sense.

It's possible that there is a metal shelf above the PS and HD bays, but even so, metal conducts heat, so some heat will rise into the rest of the chassis, and hot air will flow through the holes needed to run the power cables through.
