It depends on what you are talking about. In short the answer it is not true. You can track them for hundreds/thousands of miles. All it takes is someone coming "near" it (like passing in another lane) that has an Apple device with the Bluetooth active.

This creates a series of pings that will give you or the authorities an idea of the location and direction. The random Apple devices are not linked to the Airtag nor do they know they are sending a signal to the cloud. It just happens almost Bigbrother like, but it is pretty handy for a one time $25 fee an no annual fee for each one.
