Actually, that -is- said in an implied fashion:

"Installation of these upgrades will provide customers with the
virtual memory capability of System 7.  In addition, the IIci and
IIfx upgrades will provide customers with 32-bit addressing."

So, the SE/30 upgrade will give you virtual memory, but not the
32-bit Clean ROMs needed for 32-bit addressing.
