Yes, that is what was stated on the page I linked. It is also mentioned throughout all of the documents necessary for forming a business in California. Here is how SOS stated it, "/Before/you establish a business in the State of California, you should consult with a private attorney or tax advisor for advice about what type of business entity will meet your business needs, and what your legal obligations will be."

Avoiding Self-Employment tax is one of the reasons people choose an LLC or S-Corp, as both of those structures are pass-through entities. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/pass-through_taxation

I knew a freelance writer who incorporated thinking he could avoid
paying self-employment tax who got caught by the IRS and had to pay a
bunch of back taxes and fines.
