No, Lassi is correct.  He was referring to

  9   Classes                                                    [class]

2 A  class-name is inserted into the scope in which it is declared imme-
  diately after the class-name is seen.  The class-name is also inserted
  into  the scope of the class itself.

Therefore, QDate::QDate refers to QDate.
