Yes, I see no other way.

However, it could depend on what you call "compatible". In a limited sense the older devices are compatible because ebooks with the older DRM can still be transferred to them with ADE3.0. But they are not fully compatible, and that's what matters.

If so, note that it refers to:

which means that it is a list for the older ADE DRM, not the new ADE 3.0.

I overlooked that. I came there through the FAQ page
http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-editions/faq.html

and note the first section:

General
What is Adobe Digital Editions 3.0?
What is a typical use case for Adobe Digital Editions?
When is Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 available?
What languages are supported?
Is it a free download?
How is version 3.0 different from Adobe Digital Editions 2.0?
How do I use it with screen reading technology?
Which devices are compatible with Adobe Digital Editions?

As all the other topics are about ADE3.0 you would suspect the last line also to be about version 3.0. Besides, how many users know that Adobe® Content Server 4 software means ADE2, and how many can infer from that remark that their devices may not be compatible? Also the heading is

Digital Editions Supported Devices

without any version, so it is reasonable to assume that it means both versions. I also can't find a list of devices that are fully compatible with ADE3.0 (maybe the list is empty).

I find the information misleading, however probably not intentionally so. On the other hand if they just state "There are currently no devices compatible with ADE3.0" they might shock the customers too much.
