Technically, yes. But measurements of weight, volume, and temperature are also part of the metric system, and those didn’t derive from the meter.
Seconds are also part of the metric system, but one of the few not based on decimal/base-10.
Again, I’m just speculating that the author used “metric” because it often represents decimal/base-10 measurements. Not really arguing whether they were technically correct in doing so.
