Yep, you read the headline correctly. SamMobile reports that a China-market Note7 might have some upgrades over the standard model, with 6GB of LPDDR4 and 128GB of internal storage.
China could get a Galaxy Note 7 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage - SamMobile
This isn't the first time a higher-specced model is available in a different country as an exclusive. The 128GB variant of the Axon 7 with 6GB of memory is exclusive to China (maybe for now), while Samsung has made LTE-A versions of the S4 and S5 for the Korean market, which featured an SD800 and SD805 respectively (the S4 LTE-A was available in Europe AFAIK, while the S5 LTE-A had a QHD display as well).
However, it's still a bit of an odd move to release a higher-specced model in a specific country, though given the fierce competition in the Chinese market, I guess Samsung really has to move up the specs game.
Note that all this isn't confirmed by Samsung themselves, so take this with a grain of salt.
