Yes it is. You've accounted the price of the heat in efficiency/fuel cost already, the heating is free, and not "exceptionally expensive heat".
I wish there were a common framework for this lose and hand-wavy accounting. For some people this is painfully wrong, while the rest are not even convincible about it.
Anyway winter or cold temperature is an advantage for hydrogen in hydrogen vs electric, precisely because heating is free. They get the reasoning wrong. I think "exceptionally expensive heat" is just made up to illustrate their point. Trash "article" either way.
