Yes, unfortunately this is correct. Currently, with the OpenGL2 backend,
all 3D geometry will be rasterized, and only things like text and 2D charts
are vectorized. It would be possible to fix this, but it's a significant
effort that hasn't found funding yet.

I think your best option at this point to get vectorized 3D geometry
exported is to try building ParaView yourself with the OpenGL1 backend
using the superbuild:

https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/

This can be tricky to get right, and I'm not sure how well documented the
build process for the superbuild is on windows. Alternatively you could try
an older version of paraview than 4.4. I think the vector format export was
added around v4.0.

HTH,
