No, because there are no blanks, adding either of those words would change the meaning of the sentence in a way that I don't support.

The correction is saying this should be:

Despite claims to the contrary the map is not the territory and a country is not a house.

This does not seem to change the meaning, but rather makes the sentence read sensibly.
