Yes, this part of the docs has not been updated.  It no longer matters where
"orthographic" appears to change its behavior.  The "trick" explained in
this place in the docs now always works as long as any of the modifiers only
valid for perspective cameras are used.  This change allows to require the
camera type to always be the first thing in a camera statement, which
corrects some misunderstandings of the previous functionality, but still
keeps previously all available features.
