Better than most of what I've seen but hopelessly flawed at the most basic level of Oracle architecture. Take the very first sentence at the beginning of the document under the heading "Database Architecture."
"In Oracle, a database refers to the entire Oracle RDBMS environment"
It does not. The bullet points are a bit better but lumping control files under "Miscellaneous files" is a gross misjudgment and there is no such file as config.ora.
