No...

Subversion 1.4 introduced both a new working copy format and a new
repository format. These two changes are independent of one another.
The sentence you're quoting is trying to tell you that an old
repository will not be automatically upgraded to the new repository
format. However, the issue you are experiencing is related to the
client working copy upgrade, which is automatic.

You will need to use either all pre-1.4 clients, or all 1.4-or-later
clients with any given working copy. You cannot mix and match these
versions and be able to work on a single working copy.
