No, nginx is on the server side. The article is about client-side.

You can use nginx as a proxy on your side for any APIs. Just proxy_pass it to the API, and listen only on the local side. It can provide caching and other stuff that way.

Yeah, but that's proxy, not reverse proxy. It's possible to do something fiddler-like using apache or nginx to mitm oneself and dump everything that goes through.
