This is true, at least with out registrar.
I don't quite remember exactly what the circumstances were, but our auditor was finishing up our audit remotely (we suspect she has a side business going on and sometimes double books herself), so we never had an official in-person closing meeting. We got a 2 NCRs for not having any procedures for Purchasing and Control of Records. Um, excuse me, we most certainly DO have those procedures - this isn't our first rodeo and she's been auditing us for years so it was a very odd finding. Anyway, the registrar told us we still had to fill out the NCRs since they were recorded in the system (we didn't do a root cause or CA, just stated we did in fact have those procedures).
