"Playing AVI files" means: Knowing how to handle the AVI container format.

"Not playing AVI files" would mean not playing any AVI file (no matter which codec), because it doesn't know what AVI is.
I'd honestly rather steer away from semantics and just go with the obvious.

Does it play *.avi files out of the box or not? If so, the OP is wrong. If not, then his statement stands. Not some massaged version of an *.avi either. Plan, vanilla, *.avi that anybody here could test on their N900 since I don't have one, waiting to see how the update pattern will shake out first.
