SELECT * FROM delta doesn't work on Spark 3.2

Using DBR 10 or later and I’m getting an error when running the following query

SELECT * FROM delta.`s3://some_path`

getting org.apache.spark.SparkException: Unable to fetch tables of db delta

For 3.2.0+ they recommend reading like this:

CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW parquetTable

USING org.apache.spark.sql.parquet

OPTIONS (

path "examples/src/main/resources/people.parquet"

)

SELECT * FROM parquetTable

Can you confirm this is the only way?
