No, what he's saying is that if you can build a triangle, the idea of a triangle must have existed in some form before that. It's part of the Platonic nonsense that attempts to establish the existence of the divine with mathematical ideals.
The truth is that no one really knows just exactly math is, be it simply a human construct or some sort of deeper, underlying piece of the fabric of the cosmos, but it sure as hell isn't a good argument for the supernatural.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
