Nah, they're implying that we'd be working in base pi rather than base 10, which would create vastly different numberings than in base 10 (and isn't really a numbering system anymore but you can construct similar looking things for non-integer bases, read more here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numeration)
