It's correct. With DSC ON, as you give the car gas and the tires start spinning (without the car moving because you're stuck), DSC shuts off the power. This doesn't help get you out of the snow.
With the DSC OFF, you can get the car to rock back and forth (because all wheels keep spinning). The rocking is required to get you out of the problem.
There's no danger do it or anything... if you're not aware of what DSC is doing, you will simply not be able to move the car if it's stuck in a snow bank.
