You are /technically/ correct... the best kind of correct. A more accurate version of that sentence would be, "With distributed VCS, a copy of the entire code base, including the history of changes, resides on each developer's device"

That’s not correct either. The more accurate version (which is also still wrong) would be: “with distributed VCS, a subset of the entire code base, including history about a subset of changes might reside on a subset of the developers devices and other storage locations” (With a reminder that any set is a subset of itself)
