Close, but they aren't saying that our world can be described by a lower dimensional world, they are saying our world would be the simplified one. They managed to map 8 dimensions down to one successfully, so the challenge would be to map the 10 dimensions of string theory down to our familiar three (excluding time). Showing that you can make 8=1 means it is, in principle, possibly to go 10=3.
