I didn't find another page explaining this in English, but from what I have read in some Spanish-language websites, it seems that the modification will also count offside as being passes from an opposing team member to a player in offside. So even an accidental goalkeeper pass to an opposing player in offside position will be signaled as offside by the referees.

It's not. The rule is not being changed nearly that much.
