Wrong!
If 4 bats because 2 was too stupid to realize it was his turn, and completes his at bat, and the defense does not appeal, then 5 becomes the proper batter.
If 3 were to bat after 4, he too would be an improper batter. If he were to complete his at bat without a defensive appeal, the next proper batter would indeed be 4 - unless he was already on base. In which case 5 would be the proper batter.
