It is, and it's pretty good.  Nice one, Thien.

What Thien means is you should, in your .emacs, use

;; COMPLETELY untested
(eval-after-load "info"
  (progn 
    (define-key Info-mode-map (kbd "M-n") #'forward-paragraph)
    (define-key Info-mode-map (kbd "M-n") #'backward-paragraph)))

because it (a) delays the remapping and (b) is less memory sapping.
Furthermore, you could, to prevent "profligate consing", choose to
define the custom keybindings as an Info-mode-hook.
