Of course that is true if they don't take in consideration the 4 finger swipes currently available for developers but more likely to land in the next major upgrade.
It's not about the multitouch swiping. Multitouch wasn't even demonstrated. WebOS is very intuitive, and doesn't require one of 16 different swiping commands. ( for x in {1,2,3,4}; for y in {up,down,left,right} swipe $x finger(s) $y; )
Swiping aside, webOS kicks trash at multitasking because it was designed that way from the beginning. No new commands spliced into the next update. It's what it was designed to do.

(I say this as a Palm/WebOS fan hoping that the TouchPad, despite its uninspiring name, can survive in the market)
