For ease of referencing I'll prove the stated isomorphism under the hypothesis that 
$G$ is a compact Lie group and $X$ is a finite dimensional compact topological $G$-manifold. 

By the hypothesis on $G$ we can choose $EG$ to be a dimension-wise finite CW complex. The 
$(n+1)$-skeleton $E$ is compact, $n$-connected and for fixed $m$ and $n$ large enough, the inclusion $E \hookrightarrow EG$ induces an isomorphism 
$$H^m(EG\times_G X,\mathbb{Q}) \xrightarrow{\cong} H^m(E\times_G X,\mathbb{Q})$$
(that's 4) on p. 4 of the linked paper in the question). Hence it suffices to show that the map 
$E\times_G X \to X/G$ induces an isomorphism in rational cohomology in degree $m$. 

But this follows from the Vietoris-Begle theorem [Q, Corollary A.7] that applies if we have shown that $f$ is closed and the fibres of $f$ are compact, n-acyclic and relative Hausdorff in $E\times_G X$: 

Closedness of $f$ and compactness of the fibres $E/G_x$ are obvious, $n$-acyclity follows 
from $H^i(E/G_x,\mathbb{Q})=H^i(G_x,\mathbb{Q})=0$ for $i< n$.  Relative Hausdorff 
means different points in the fibre have disjoint neighborhoods in $E \times_G X$. This 
holds since $E \times_G X$ is Hausorff. QED
