You're right, but you can easily convert vector to raster. In this case, 
first set the region to match your cover map, then something like
v.to.rast type=area
then r.statistics

v.what.rast also converts the vector to a raster first, then runs 
statistics. v.what.rast would be the best solution unless you want the 
most frequent category.
