@asianfail,
By definition, "US imports" means that goods and services enter the US and that US Dollars leave it in return. For the rest of the world, then, each import transaction by the US increases the supply of dollars, because that's what the US paid it. The transaction doesn't, however, affect the supply of the rest of the world's currency. Therefore, the increased supply of dollars on the rest of the world's market for currency will push down the rate at which the US dollar exchanges for the rest of the world's currencies. So yes, the statement you quote is true.
PS: The outcome is the same if you look at it from the US's perspective, or if the US pays for the transaction in foreign currency. The only important thing in analysing the transaction is to pick one perspective and one currency at the beginning, and then stick with them throughout the entire analysis.
