I don't think that is true.
It certainly is not true if the network service is running,
and if you have an appropriate entry
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<if>.
But I'm pretty sure WiFi can work even if
neither the network nor the NetworkManager service is running.
The lack of any clear documentation on WiFi is a major failure
in Fedora, IMHO.
