Is it true that Windows Server 2012 R2 . . .

Is it true that Windows Server 2012 R2 has a maximum file length of 250 characters but if you were to use 2016 or 2019 they do not have a max file length?

Maximum Path Length Limitation
In editions of Windows before Windows 10 version 1607, the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters. In later versions of Windows, changing a registry key or using the Group Policy tool is required to remove the limit. See Maximum Path Length Limitation for full details.
