You are reading the guide correctly. The F250 is better suited to pulling a travel trailer than pulling a 5th wheel as a TT only puts about 10% of its weight onto the truck while 5th wheel put about 20%.
For example, you can pull a TT of 11,000 lbs GVWR and it will put 1,100 lbs on to the truck hitch and have a trailer axle weight (the towing weight) of 9900 lbs.
But a 5th wheel of 11,000 gvrw would put 2,200 lbs of pin weight onto the truck and have a trailer axle weight (towing weight) of 8,800 lbs. But the 2,200 would put your truck over its GVWR.
