What do they mean by this? Do we literally don't know who created Truecrypt?

Yes, that's right. (The very earliest version was based on work 13 years ago by Paul Le Roux, but it's undergone enormous work since then by some person or group.)
TrueCrypt is a popular, carefully designed, well written, well maintained, highly stable and non-trivial application, but its authors are completely unknown. The open source world does have some quiet humble people, but it seems surprising that the authors want to remain totally anonymous for developing a legitimate and well-respected product.
