No, this is incorrect. First, you are confusing DAHDI and chan_dahdi. 
MeetMe absolutely requires, and will always require DAHDI, because DAHDI 
is used for mixing the audio streams together into conferences.

Second, MeetMe also requires chan_dahdi to be loaded, and prior to the 
patch you listed above, this required a chan_dahdi.conf file to be 
present. The patch listed above changed changed chan_dahdi to load in a 
very 'basic' configuration when no chan_dahdi.conf file is present.
