Typically not true. Transfers for gTLDs (in particular, .com, .net, .org, .info, and possibly some others) can usually still be requested the day of, or even many days after expiration.
There are some people on NamePros who regularly do transfers after expiration - some long as 30 days after depending on the registrar. Very risky to push it out that far, but point is after-expiration transfers are certainly possible, and occur all the time.
To digress a bit, country-code TLDs (.us, .co, .nu, .cc, .jp, etc) are an entirely different story from gTLDs ... some ccTLDs prevent any changes / transfers being performed after expiration with some going even further by requiring renewal days to even a month prior to the expiration date.
