I don't know what manual you are quoting from, but it is not correct.
The official manual
(http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.21/cvs_12.html#SEC98) states:

 $Name$

    Tag name used to check out this file. The keyword is expanded only
if one checks out with an explicit tag name. For example, when running
the command cvs co -r first, the keyword expands to `Name: first'.
