That is correct. The federal law governing 55+ communities states that 80% of the homes have to be owned by someone 55 or older. It’s up to the developer how they handle that remaining 20%. They can choose to sell to folks under 55, or they can require that everyone be 55+. I’ve read several posts on here from folks who have purchased prior to turning 55.
