You're correct, they count as new works. But that's not what's stated here, it's referring to all works whether reworked or not.
Chaplin died in 1977, so depending on a country's copyright laws his films are likely to remain in copyright until 2067. That means a 1918 Chaplin film will remain in copyright for 149 years. As I said, this is an outrageous abuse of copyright.
With such unreasonable copyright laws in place it's no wonder that so many just ignore them.
