This is not fully correct.

client-to-client means "the OpenVPN server will route packets between
clients directly".  If this is not set, packets will be routed via the
Server's IP stack ("Linux tun interface"), so you can use iptables to
control connectivity between clients - but if iptables permit (and 
"forward_ip" is enabled on the server!) clients can still talk.
