What I take away from this is that almost any game can run on PS2-level hardware or higher with enough sacrifices made to the graphics. Of course many developers or publishers wouldn't want to sacrifice the visual appeal of their game to bring it to more platforms, and it's no surprise that Activision is not such a publisher.
But technologically speaking, it would be possible for any PS4 game to run on the PS2, yeah? It would just look like shit. It might even look like a PS1 game in order to fit everything. But it would run.
I mean, hell, these guys put a 360 game on the Wii. I don't think there's ever been a larger power gap within a generation (except Wii --> PS3, pretty much the same thing).
