Yes, sadly. But there's some more (in the second paragraph of the quote):
"
there will be opensource Power10-compatible CPUs available. The plan is that they will come next year. [...] Solid Silicon [...] promises to deliver these new opensource Power10 CPUs.
[...] There are plans to produce OpenPOWER board in Raspberry Pi format. But unfortunately the plans have no delivery date now. Todd confirmed that they know the need for such device and work on it."

...and then the Power11 slides:
