This is true for the "inode table" based filesystems such as FFS,
EXT2 and the like, but not other types of filesystems where the inode
name space is not a linear integer direcly dependent on the
filesystem size.

There are more reasons to go 64 bit for inode numbers than the
limitation in number of total inodes. Having a larger namespace gives
more freedom to the filesystem on how to populate the inode number
namespace.
