That is true, but the above explanation does not exclude other objects. 
It does not say "ONLY when...".

The entire 1997 thread started with "what does {qajatlh} mean", so 
Okrand responded to that question, explaining the first and second 
person object. Nobody asked for third, so there was no reason to answer 
that.

The prefix trick follows the same pattern:
   SoHvaD Soj vInob  -> Soj qanob.
   SoHvaD Soj wInob  -> Soj pInob.
   chaHvaD Soj wInob -> Soj DInob.
