No, this is not true. The runner must return to touch his base when both the pitcher and catcher are in their positions ready to make the next pitch. Just because the pitcher has received the ball (in any rule set) does not mean the runner can't try to run home. The pitcher has to toe the rubber and the catcher must be in a catching position in his box in order to force the runner to touch his base. Teach the players to make a play on R3.
