That's the conclusion I came to as well. That said, for whatever reason, the part that was most confusing to me was realizing that the logic puzzle was about the idea that the statement itself had to be false. For whatever reason, I glossed over the phrase "a liar who always lies" the first time and just read "liar" everywhere else, so it wasn't obvious to me what the intent was behind using the word "liar" was.

Personally, I'd change the original wording (from the quoted italic section) to "someone who only tells lies" if I were the author. It's probably specific to me, but I'm always thrown by phrases like that because it seems like it's trying to differentiate in some way from someone else; surely there isn't anyone who "always lies" who _isn't_ a liar, so why say that? It's distracting to me in the same way as if someone said "the speech-capable human being who speaks only in lies". Normally it wouldn't bother me, but because puzzles like this often seem to be used to try to illustrate some smug point about how bad people are at logic, phrasing things in an unnecessarily confusing way just makes it seem even more smug (see https://xkcd.com/169/).
