What they are talking about is setting up the router as an SNMP proxy.
An SNMP Manager is something that will query SNMP devices, chart certain
SNMP values, alert someone when their is a trap or a threashold has been
reached. I can't see in the documentation how you setup the SNMP
manager to query other SNMP devices, chart SNMP values and save them in
a SQL database or how to place a call to the administrator when a device
is not responding or a certain SNMP value has reached a predefined
threashold.
To me that is what an SNMP manager does. Cisco is calling the SNMP
proxy functionality in the IOS an SNMP manager which I think is not
exactly correct.
The original question would in fact work with this setup. The SNMP
manager on the router needs to be turned on and you need to have 11.3T
and above to get it to work.

Well then what is this I took from this link on Cisco's webpage?

SNMP Manager
Description
The SNMP Manager feature allows a router to serve as an SNMP manager. As
an
SNMP manager, the router can send SNMP requests to agents and receive
SNMP
responses and notifications from agents. When the SNMP manager process
is
enabled, the router can query other SNMP agents and process incoming
SNMP
traps.
