Yes, that's the right content of the file.
However, you don't have to and should not do anything with this file.

The above suggestion about removing it is just a workaround to disable modem-
manager to be started via NetworkManager daemon.

modem-manager is complementary program to NetworkManager and it is used to 
manage modems. You don't have to execute it manually. It is run automatically 
by NetworkManager.
So, you just have to plug your modem and that's it. As far as configuration is 
concerned, you should set up a connection using nm-connection-editor. You can 
run it from terminal or just right-click on nm-applet in systray and choose 
"Edit Connections...". Then select "Mobile Broadband" tab and add your 
connection.
