It works fine here under macOS v10.12.0 Sierra. You don't say how you're running it, so I have no idea why it would always return true for you.
I am running it in a Script Editor window and reading the value in the Script Editor window's Result pane. I open the Privacy tab in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the Accessibility List, authenticate to open the lock, and uncheck Script Editor in the Accessibility list. I then run the script in Script Editor, and it returns false. Then I check Script Editor in the Accessibility list, run the script in Script Editor, and it returns true. All as advertised.
It reports whether accessibility is enabled for the application that is running the script. When you run a script in Script Editor, that is Script Editor. When you run it in some other application or as an applet, that is whatever application is running the script.
