I believe that is correct. I eplaced one on our 2011. I expect it will eventually happen to our 2015. I used a less expensive aftermarket copy.
Seems that now several sources exist.

Good looking out, appreciate the links.
Yah, what a pain in the f**king azz.
Actually found a few junk yards who have the item and are willing to ship so that should work. Will be about $35 to $45.
This has just happened to mine too, my replacement arm has no grooves in the hole that attaches to the motor spindle, yet the one I removed (the original) does. Does anyone know if the new arm is supposed to be smooth? Like the spindle will dig into it to ‘bite’ into the softer metal arm??
Im concerned my replacement is a non genuine part, even though the markings are exactly the same as my original, bar these grooves/ridges. Original Arm, showing grooves.
I don’t remember for sure but I think my replacement ( it was aftermarket bought on Amazon) was smooth too. I do remember that it had to set just right on the spindle or it would travel too far towards the drivers side and be jerky as it reversed. I remember loosening it and moving it slightly a couple of times before getting it right. I don’t think I could have done that if it was serrated.

Thanks for your swift reply J.!
I will have a go at replacing it tomorrow and see how I get on!

I just ordered one off of ebay for $40.
I can update this thread once I receive it though youll probably have figured it out by then.
This happened to me yesterday! I was driving on the turnpike in the rain. The wipers were on, but not at full speed, and the passenger side broke off, flew across the windshield and took the other wiper blade with it. Apparently, a lot of people have this problem. Has Audi done anything to address this?
