Well, yes - but only if you're using the "Native FTP Relay" feature, which 
that same documentation lists as being "a new, experimental, complex feature 
that has seen limited production exposure".

Therefore, given your situation, you might be best not using this new feature 
for the time being (I have no idea whether it's planned to allow active 
connections on the server side in future).
