It isn't a true story (see
<http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/e/einstein-god.htm> for some
debunking info) but yes, it is a well-presented bit of logic.
(Although I was expecting it to be 'evil is the absence of good', not
the absence of God. In the context of that kind of semantic wordplay
that's the right argument.
