That is correct. Or at least it can only support one VLAN in common with the Cisco gear. It can have all the VLANs it wants as long as it does not have dual links to the Cisco gear, creating a loop which will not be blocked with Spanning Tree, because it doesn't support PVST+.
BTW - what are "Hwa Wei" switches?
