I think so.

Anyway the actual action is clearly indicated in the article.

<quote>
Add the @Deprecated(since="9") annotation to the following classes:

     java.applet.AppletStub
     java.applet.Applet
     java.applet.AudioClip
     java.applet.AppletContext
     javax.swing.JApplet
</quote>

so my take is that it only actual applets but including
applets launched via JNLP that will become deprecated.
