No, not really, I can't confirm that. I'm using third party app[0] which has nothing to do with Xiaomi. It only requires login with official app once in order to obtain encryption(?) key. After that all functionalities can be used without any problems or settings opening automatically. I guess the quoted person has misconfigured something.
