The statement is correct.
An "information" is a charging document filed by the prosecutor in a criminal case that formally accuses the defendant of committing a crime. However, it is not the basis of a preliminary hearing.
A preliminary hearing is a court proceeding held after a defendant has been charged with a crime. The purpose of the preliminary hearing is to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to hold the defendant for trial. At the preliminary hearing, the prosecutor presents evidence and witnesses to the judge, who then decides whether there is probable cause to believe that the defendant committed the crime. If the judge finds that there is sufficient evidence, the defendant is "held to answer" and the case proceeds to trial.
