Doesn't that mean someone who has become American, can run for president?

What part of natural born do you not understand? The other part of the constitutional limit describes people who had been in the country for at least fourteen years by the time the constitution was passed. Believe that was around 1790. So if you werent here by 1776 when the declaration was written, you had to be born here. Arnold may be super man but he's not more than 200 years old.
