Not correct. They have gotten this confused with the "cmc 2 or less" condition.

That means, per the FAQ & rulebook, that it can't make a copy of anything
that's not an instant card, correct.

Now it doesn't care, when you go to make the copy, what the CMC of the card is
- if you manage to get a Spelljack imprinted on the Scepter (possible only
by having it not be a Scepter originally), you can make a copy of that and
play it. But if a nonInstant is imprinted on the Scepter (say it was a
Duplicant-Volrath's_Shapeshifter on coming into play [yes, that means the
triggered Imprint ability of the Duplicant would trigger] and got a creature
card imprinted) the Scepter's ability can't make a copy of it.
