Yes, this is true. I use an in-line filter with my Cascade in a closed loop only because I was an idiot and when I spray painted my radiator I didn't block the tubes and got spray inside the tanks. Every now and then a particle of paint dislodges and decides to run through the loop and that's what the filter is for, otherwise I wouldn't even bother.
Filters are mostly for the paranoid in closed loop systems which haven't been prepared properly, or for open-to-the-air systems.
