Yes, it is, from what I've read.
He chose the author, and made the critical decision to assist the author without impeding him. Apparently, he directed the author to people who had reason not to like him, and did not ask for any kind of editorial control or even to read any part of it.
I think that Jobs was the kind of guy for whom getting things right was The Imperative. He seems to have taken the necessary steps to make sure that his biography was done right, even to the point of truthfully describing his faults and incorporating the views of those who disliked him.
