That sentence is somewhat ambiguous: "Otherwise you would be able to pay things with money you don't have in your wallet." Obviously his transaction wouldn't be accepted by the network, as it would be spending UTXO that don't exist, so no, he wouldn't be able to pay.

Is your question whether transactions can be broadcast without being in sync with the blockchain?

I sent bitcoin from my BitcoinQt wallet while it was unsynced to another wallet, do I have to wait for it to sync?
