No it is not true, nor is it so for any Lithium ion or Lithium polymer battery. Many people simply plug their iPhones and iPads in at night and don't unplug them until the next day when they need to take them with them again. It does absolutely no harm to just leave them plugged in until needed on the move again. There is no need to monitor the charge state at all when plugged in.
