You are correct (and I had not examined the line provided
 closely )

White(1): [d]6r1/33P1/8/2p5/2p5/2P5/6R1/2k1K3 w

   white       black
1.  Kf1         Kd1
2.  Kg1         Ke1
3.  Kh2!         Kf1

This is the critical position:
[d]6r1/33P1/8/2p5/2p5/2P5/6RK/5k2 w

Here 4.Kh1!! must be played

then after

  white       black
4.  ...         Ke1
5.  Kg1         Kd1
6.  Kf1         Kc1
7.  Ke1         ...

we have this position (same position as above but black to move!)

[d]6r1/33P1/8/2p5/2p5/2P5/6R1/2k1K3 b

this a clear and decisive win for white!
