No, it's not true. What is true is that the more turbulance/surface disturbance you have in a tank, the more CO2 you will lose through gas exchange at the surface. Even with high surface disturbance, you will still get some CO2 into the tank. It's important to note that if you don't have enough surface disturbance, your fish may suffer from low oxygen in the water at night when plants aren't producing oxygen.
