Nope, that's definitely real!
I filled out the form so I could get the yearly Halloween postcard. It's an instructables tradition! :)

Oh, several years ago!
In the past, staffers posted a forum topic where if you responded with a comment they'd send you a private message with a link to submit your mailing address.
It looks like this year the PM was just sent out directly.

I've noticed that the cards usually arrive after Hallowe'en if you live outside the US.
