No, that's not correct. Google is enforcing everyone to use multi-factory authentication on their accounts. Some devices aren't capable of either being asked for the 2nd factor or answering it. How they allow you to get around this is the app password. That password can only be used for a single device to authenticate. Once you use it, it will NOT work with any other device. That's how you ensure the security of the account without MFA. It's not possible for someone to discover and use the password on any other device or location. So, for each device, you'd need a unique app password generated.
