Yes, but that quote is just plain wrong.

The TSB's initial report said the opposite, making it clear that the ACA was already climbing and had overflown all 4 aircraft on the ground by the time the controller instructed the GA. If that report has been contradicted by any subsequent update from the TSB, I haven't seen it and there has certainly been no reference to it on here.
You may be confusing TSB's initial report with FAA's. TSB estimated that ACA759 overflew Taxiway C for approximately 0.25 miles when ATC instructed the go around. That's about halfway between Whiskey and November, so at that point ACA759 had not overflown all four aircraft on the ground yet.

It's possible that the go around was already initiated by the time ATC chimed in, but the TSB report doesn't state that.
