It's not true at all though... John is one name, the ones written here are just other (similar) names. Same as some people being named Alex and others Alexander. In Swedish John and Johan are both very common and never used interchangeably, and I'm very sure it's the same everywhere else. This whole post is just dumb.
It's the local name for the bible's John
Regardless, it IS various languages' ways of saying John. People are free to use other languages' terms if they like, and many do.
