(I'm not in California. Perhaps a Californian can confirm that for me.)
That is correct. And yes, it has created a "premium" on used hybrids that have the sticker. No new hybrids of any kind qualify for HOV stickers. Only NGVs and electrics qualify. I am guessing that that there is also a set number of HOV stickers allotted for electrics and NGVs. Once those run out, no more stickers.
