I thought that it was true as soon as git is used as a backend, even in non-colocated repositories. Am I wrong?

You're right. Well, it was more correct before than after at least, but the old form also sounds a bit incorrect to me. I think "stores them as that in the Git backend" makes it sound like we actually store bookmarks as branches in the Git backend. We store bookmarks in the operation store (which has no Git backend). We have jj git export/import to export/import from/to our operation store to Git. The export/import requires a Git backend, but it is not the source of truth for storage of bookmarks.
This applies some suggestions from Ilya from #4341 and starts to differentiate in terminology.
