True... but it does assume that you have mounted your omni wheels at 45 degrees in the corners of your robot for the direction parameter to have the same meaning. Given that this is usually more difficult than mounting them along the 4 sides, it seems less likey that the VI as supplied will apply directly to a typical omni wheel design.
If your omni-wheeled robot is using 3 wheels at 120 degrees, your drive system is still holonomic, but this VI can't help you. Also, swerve drive systems are holonomic but could not be controlled by this VI. That's why I don't care for the naming of it.
