True, however you could say that the reason they didn't make it was that the rules surrounding customer cars were up in the air, as it turns out, Torro Rosso have been using a "customer" chassis for the past 2-3 years due to what I guess can be termed as a loophole.
Again, the new 2010 teams had their "goalposts" moved also by the FIA when the budget cap was scrapped. So in both instances, the 2008 entry and the 2010 had the rules for entry blurred by the governing body and FOTA.
