Is it true that dietary fat provides about 9 kilocalories per gram, compared with about 4 kilocalories per gram for protein and for carbohydrate?

Yes. One source explicitly states the conversion factors that fat provides 9 kcal/g while protein and carbohydrate each provide 4 kcal/g, and two further sources give the roughly 4 kcal/g figure for protein and carbohydrate.
