My question is...is he right? Batts on top of the plaster and lathe,
then plastic?

The vapor barrier goes on the warm side of the surface. So for houses
in cold climates, it goes towards the living area. Your quote above
is definitely wrong, you need the vapor barrier first, then the batts.
I'm surprised that you can't get batts that have a paper vapor barrier
on one side.

As to batts versus blown in, I have no experience.
