Sort of. What they're talking about is the time it takes to rebuild during your dev-cycle, when you will typically be editing 1 or 2 typescript files and then refreshing your browser. In this case N is the total number of files in the project. Other bundlers will be O(n) because they need to bundle all N files together (higher values of N result in longer build time). While Snowpack will still be O(1) because the time it takes to rebuild the 1 or 2 files you edited does not increase with the value of N.
