I'm having trouble distinguishing between these two descriptions of the behaviour. What is different between what you say and what the author says?

Cmd-tab shows the row of open applications, you can tab through them (or shift-tab to go backwards), OR mouse over and click whichever app you want.

Cmd-backtick only cycles through the windows.

Speaking of which — while cycling through windows with Cmd-tab, you can hide or quit them by pressing h or q, by keeping the command button pressed.
