The answer is probably yes: You should be allowed to connect as guest with the config from the wiki.
Actually I am guessing here because I have not set up my afp server as a Time Capsule following this Wiki. My solution is based on a simple network setup sharing the user's home dir in which the sparsebundle resides. So I allow acess to the backup only to authorized users and not guests.
1) after you allowed MacOS to use "any" network share as a time machine backup location with this command:
defaults write com.apple.systempre
you can mount this share manually in Finder.
Afer this mount the network drive it is selectable in the Timachine setup.

The user/password is the one from the user 'apple' on the nslu2, the share I called "apple" including the double quotes in the config
e"
So as a good approach you should mount the share as guest and check the permissions. Try to read/write a file on this Time machine share as guest. Also for some magic reasons you can re-create the sparsebundle and copy it again - I had to do this a few times myself.
Good luck.
