Yes. This doesn't pass the smell test. I first suspected the article produces a garbled version of the research, but the abstract says the same too: http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.3273 " In particular, for energies of one megaton or larger we find near one impact every three years for Mars, an interesting and concerning result for future Mars explorations. The corresponding calculations for our planet give a probability of one impact per 15 years"
