A beam of light would only travel about 60 centimeters in 2 nanoseconds...so, no...the implosion took significantly longer than that. When conditions are as extreme as this, oftentimes even someone touted as an expert will spout some wildly inaccurate "big" number (or small, as in this case) to give people a sense of how extreme things were. But even those should be sanity checked.
