Its true.. to a point !
Are you saying metal doesnt expand ? ...LOL
The air gap is very small and expansion does affect the amount of air passed.
Also, the temperature of the air will affect boost level as the denser it is, the less it will pass.
I will say that the variations will be small the majority of the time.
I suppose anything other than true closed loop boost control is pants and unsafe IMO !
