I don't think it is a weighted average. I believe you have to divide at some point for averaging to be going on. Convolutions just add up the neighborhood based on the kernel, and output their sum.

It still gets across most of the point of how it works.

As for dividing, that's what the Divisor option is for. To quote the article:

"The result of previous calculation will be divided by this divisor. You will hardly use 1, which lets result unchanged, and 9 or 25 according to matrix size, which gives the average of pixel values."
