Not necessarily true.

From FCTM :

At 20 ft, the "RETARD" auto call-out reminds the pilot to retard thrust levers. It is a reminder rather
than an order. When best adapted, the pilot will rapidly retard all thrust levers: depending on the
conditions, the pilot will retard earlier or later.
However, the pilot must ensure that all thrust levers
are at IDLE detent at the latest at touchdown, to ensure ground spoilers extension at touchdown.
