That is not correct at all. You can submit your site to the search engines and then they will crawl you, even without backlinks.
Backlinks are a good way to get crawled naturally, but make sure they are quality. You also don't want to just start a site and all of the sudden have a million links either. The SEs will know you are spamming them.
One thing you may want to do is to submit a few press releases with links to your site in them to help the engines find you easier and faster, but they will get to you within a reasonable amount of time if you have submitted them. Just be patient.
Also, to see if you have pages indexed, but not in results yet, do a site search, i.e.
in Google, type:
site:yourdomainnamehere.com
and you will see what the engine has indexed so far. A lot of times though the pages may be indexed but will not start showing up for a few months.
Patience is key.
