Yes, this is correct. When actively employed and working as a real estate agent, one is considered a professional even if commissions haven't been earned yet. The hours/percentage of income test does not apply in the case of working as a real estate agent.
The definition listed above applies in the context of rental income from propety and its associated expenses, which is reported on Schedule C rather than Schedule E when it is received by a real estate professional as defined above.
