Yes, this page doesn't talk about GTypeModule, it did in the distant
past, but no longer. See an old version here:
https://live.gnome.org/action/recall/Vala/TypeModules?action=recall&rev=5

It depends on what you want to do: if you want to be able to load
plugins then it is probably better to use libpeas (but you can use
GModule and GTypeModule directly if you want), if on the other hand you
only want to write a plugin, it should be enough to annotate the
function that is called by the plugin loader with [ModuleInit].
