It's still sort of correct.
pre-up/pre-down actions can not be triggered directly by scripts in
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/.

Such actions can be triggered though by placing (or symlinking) a script in
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/pre-up.d/ or
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/pre-down.d/

See man 8 NetworkManager

I think upstream still considers those pre actions problematic which is
why you need to jump through that extra hoop and which is why no such
symlinks are created in pre-up.d/ and pre-down.d/

The comment could indeed be updated though.
