Certainly. That part is a sentence written to be short and catchy. It sacrifices precision for reasons of brevity and style. It also doesnt mention either concurrency or parallelism, it just uses the word "parallel".
This is acceptable, because the post goes on to more precise statements later on, quote:
It works for both i/o bound concurrency and cpu bound parallel computing.
End Quote.
When I write "I cannot go to the party, sorry." it doesn't imply that my plan was to literally "go" there , as in "walking on foot". But I think we can both agree that: "I cannot walk, drive, take public transport, have myself lifted by ways of a rented helicopter, or commute in any other way shape or form, to the party, sorry." would be a bit unwieldy for a text message.
