Information in that older Apple support document still applies. Intel-based computers use Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), while Open Firmware is used in computers that have PowerPC processors - the article listed which computers can use the Open Firmware Password application.
Now that you are running Lion, you can use the Firmware Password Utility after booting into the recovery partition.
