This is a typo on that web page, "*ValuePtr" should be "ValuePtr".  (Most
of these SQL_ATTR_xxx attribute values are not pointers, so it does not
make sense to dereference ValuePtr.)

Only the _pointer_ to the row status array is 64 bits.

Of the two possible interpretations of Microsoft's statement, Oracle
chose the wrong one.
