Wow, yes - you are completely correct (read through the note in detail now).
Though, as your paper also notes, the quantizer values themselves aren't fundamentally novel to either paper.
Lloyd Max scalar quantizers have been studied for a very, very long time.
And the specific Lloyd Max values for the Gaussian input distribution have been obtained in many papers across signal processing and information theory.
