If you want to think so
That info you gave is from 2002 and you can see that today

Quoting: "In December 2000, the Fifth Committee voted to lower the ceiling rate from 25% to 22% for the Regular Budget. The US had promised to pay its longstanding debt to the UN in exchange for lower assessments. Half a decade later, the US still owes around US$500 million to the UN Regular Budget."

here you can see who is paying and who is not

http://www.un.org/Depts/dpko/dpko/contributors/

I am not saying that the US does not contribute but it is definitely not the UN

Quoting: "he United States funded 22 percent of the UN regular budget, as well as more than 27 percent of the peacekeeping budget. "
