Correct. The understanding document 
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/text-spacing.html tries to 
cover various angles in more details (author responsibility, user 
responsibility, applicability), but in essence if something is outside 
of your direct control as an author, you're not on the hook for it.
