Pretty much, yes. It’s one of California’s largest retirement communities. As long as you buy property, you’re in.
Non-citizens cannot own property in Mexico, IIRC. What all those retires buy is a long-term lease. It’s possible some may work like a co-op, where you own shares in a corporation which entitle you to the use of the apartment, but I’m not sure about that.
