True.  It's total address space rather than row/column count that matters. From a couple of 
different MS pages:

"64-bit Office doesn´t impose hard limits on file size. Instead, workbook size is limited only by 
available memory and system resources. On the other hand, 32-bit Office is limited to 2 
gigabytes (GB) of virtual address space, shared by Excel, the workbook, and add-ins that run 
in the same process. (Worksheets smaller than 2 GB on disk might still contain enough data 
to occupy 2 GB or more of addressable memory.)"

and 

"A data model´s share of the address space might run up to 500 - 700 megabytes (MB)"
