That's correct. Jeremy Johnson & Sean White were pro-style QBs. Stidham and Nix were both "dual-threat". BUT, their style of dual-threat is a far cry from Cam or Nick Marshall.
I mean, was Sean not in that same category of very mobile/accurate passer? I feel like we have a hard time categorizing white dual threat guys because so often "dual threat" in HS becomes pretty much pro style in college (by physical necessity).
A lot of us still aren't convinced Nix will remain a DT by any stretch of the term, although I'm certainly hoping he's able to do so.
ETA - just looked and maybe you're right (on White being only pro-style).

I think Nix will be a beast if the Auburn coaching staff doesnt fail him.

No, he's never going to be a Nick Marshall, but he's proven he can at least be a threat to run when he has to. I wish they'd design some more runs for him.
And I agree about the DT transition from college to HS. I think the QB runs a lot more in HS systems than they would be expected to do in college.
