That's correct. In shell glob pattern bracket expressions, the standard
negator is '!' and not '^'. Many shells support '^' as a synonym, but
that's an extension to the standard and not mandatory. Dash usually
doesn't support such extensions. But all shells support '!', so just
that instead and you're safe.
Reference:

"If an open bracket introduces a bracket expression as in XBD RE Bracket
Expression, except that the <exclamation-mark> character ( '!' ) shall
replace the <circumflex> character ( '^' ) in its role in a non-matching
list in the regular expression notation, it shall introduce a pattern
bracket expression."
