As we know density of water is 1000kg/m^3.
Spc. Gravity=density of any fluid/density of water;
S.g=density of any fluid/1000kg/m^3.
Ex:-sg of water is 1 ...mercury 13.6.
The density of water 1000kg/m^3.
S.g of water=1000/1000 = 1.
So, here the kg/m^3 is numerically is equal to s.g.

It's only for gm/cc3.

The assertion is incorrect since density is expressed in kg/m3. If the density was provided in gm/cc, then the statement could have been accurate, as the specific gravity of a fluid is equal to its density in gm/cc.
