Unless these numbers take into account positioning, and multiple attacks on a single target they don't really mean too much.
They ignore positioning; eveything is assumed to be in range of everything else. Multiple attacks are allowed (originating from or terminating on any unit). But I don't think positioning makes the numbers invalid in this case. The only times when positioning is really important are when projectiles, area effect weapons, heat/cold/poison auras, trample, or magic are involved... or when one group outnumbers another group by a factor of 24:1 or so (depending on the size). None of these play a role in this scenario, so I doubt the numbers differ from reality to a noticable degree, aside from the routing issue, which would make vine units and undeads relatively much more potent compared to humans, but not change their balance relative to each other.
