Yes, this is true.
Putting the dialog in a div separate from all othe content on the page
and using aria-hidden on that content when dialog pops ups is a bit of
a workaround and does not always work as expected.
Ultimately, we are hoping the html5 <dialog> tag will accessibly
emerge from the depths of the browser implementation phase, and
deligate the majority of the implementation complexities to the
browser.
