No, AVH reported them at 1500m out, and that is less than a mile, at 194 knots. that is so far from a stabilized approach as I am from China right now.
For avoidance of doubt, at 1500 m out from the THR the aircraft was at approximately 575' AMSL (275' AAL), based on ADS-B and reported QNH. I have no idea where Avherald got 950' AMSL/661' AGL from.

IAS would obviously have been somewhat less than the 194 kts groundspeed, based on the reported wind.
