Can anyone verify if this exchange is factually correct?

You could read David Leigh's book, in which he published the full decryption key: https://www.amazon.com/WikiLeaks-Inside-Julian-Assanges-Secrecy/dp/161039061X

That's literally how he leaked it.

The wikipedia article on it has the whole "he said - she said":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks:_Inside_Julian_Assange%27s_War_on_Secrecy

Including the lie that is frequently parroted about Assange not caring about people dying.
