Yes, you are. nginx doesn't listen, it connects to memcached
server which should listen on ip:port you specified. It is up to
you to start memcached and place appropriate data into it.

Also, you probably want to know that on modern operating
systems it is usually bad idea to place files into memory
explicitly. Virtual memory subsystem will do it automatically as
long as you have spare memory on your server, and will likely do
it better than may be done by hand.

Other points in the post you linked are... uhm, questionable too
(you may want to read "incorrect" here, but I'm not going to
argue). You probably want to disregard this post instead of
following it.
