Is it a rule for the official to inform the coach? Yes.
Is this the same thing as the OP? I don't think so. Official fails to notify coach of no timeouts. An oversight. Oops.
How many coaches enter the game thinking: When I call my last timeout, the officials will tell me. I'd say not very many.
Official tells coach he has one, when in fact he has none. Potentially a
major screwup.
