Yes, you are correct but so am I. I sold my ML270 with that seat material back in 2003. Here is a copy from Google AI
"Artico and MB-Tex are essentially the same high-quality, synthetic (vinyl) upholstery from Mercedes-Benz, with Artico being the newer name for the refined MB-Tex, offering a leather-like look and feel but with superior durability, easier cleaning, and resistance to cracking, making it ideal for families or heavy use, while real leather offers a natural feel and patina but requires more care. Choose Artico/MB-Tex for low maintenance and toughness, and real leather for luxury feel and character, though MB-Tex often holds up better over time."
