No, he didn't. He said the part of apache config file you listed was mod_proxy_balancer. The latter balances requests between multiple mongrels that just listen to a high port.
mongrel_cluster just sets up a cluster of multiple mongrels with a single command. You still need something to proxy the http requests from port 80 to these mongrels. That something could be a load balancer (e.g. pound) or a web server capable of proxy balancing (like nginx, hopefully next version of lighty and Apache2.2 with mod_proxy_balancer).
