Yes, back then you had to comment or post. These days it also counts users who vote within the timeframe as active users.
I've always wondered why active-but-silent didn't count. If you bother to login, you're active to me.
Logins aren't federated, so for counting active users in a community votes, comments, posts is about all you have.

Fedidb has always had strange numbers...

Cue the 'too the moon' rocket but with the btc logo removed and the Fediverse icon added.
