Is this an arguement for female sex-selection to rebalance things?

No it's an argument against any sex selection at all.

Not that many babies are born by IVF though, so I don't see how it's going to make a difference in a world-wide sense

well, not really, because across all treatments the rate of male births was similar to the normal. And because a small %age of births are via IVF.

people do not choose the kind of IVF that made girls more likely (ICSI) because it is a more problematic one, not because the gender balance favours girls.

Most likely the majority of people will keep on conceiving babies the old-fashioned way. That generates more boys than girls anyway, though through the years some of the weaker sex will drop off to make the numbers more equal.
