It is correct in for far as you should have a buffer over Vmc to prevent loss of control
At an approach power setting you have a huge buffer all the way down to Stall speed and you won't be near it. Its when you power up that it increases rapidly.

this is the problem everyone thinks there is just one Vmca its a dynamic speed which changes with virtually every variable in the aircraft. Some things reduce it and some things increase it.
