Looks about right, the flange to flange dimensions are overall, not centreline to centreline but spoke length is not highly sensitive to small changes in that dimension.
My ones with the old pattern lock nuts are 495g for a pair with track nuts but without lock rings. Nuts are 61g for a set of four, so even if Novatec forgot to include them in their weights, they're using Italian scales; there's no way the new pattern lock nuts are 30g lighter than the old (38g per hubset) ones unless Novatec have discovered a new material with negative gravitational mass.
With cut down bolt-on axles and minimalist lock nuts, mine are down to 400g for a pair including a method of keeping them attached to the bike.
