I think so.

A plist is a property list. See

(info "(elisp) Property Lists")

or

http://emacswiki.org/emacs/AlistVsPlist

A bit down in the info node you quoted this is mentioned:

   Every process also has a property list that you can use to store
miscellaneous values associated with the process.

 -- Function: process-get process propname
     This function returns the value of the PROPNAME property of
     PROCESS.

 -- Function: process-put process propname value
     This function sets the value of the PROPNAME property of PROCESS
     to VALUE.

 -- Function: process-plist process
     This function returns the process plist of PROCESS.
