Sorry but I must say your interpretation is not correct ... even whorse
is Vlan hooping helper... if you have not consistent native vlan across
all trunks you are nice to your hackers...

maybe it is only English language problem ... see this page, there are
anti Vlan hooping practices:

 section Mitigating VLAN Hopping Attacks


PS: I thing you ware trying to mention that dont use native vlan on
trunks same as native vlan on access ports.
