No, that is not true either. Plenty of cars run turbos without an intercooler - including Saabs. Until 1985 no Saab turbo had an intercooler.
Air at 250-300 degrees is not that hot, and you better believe it gets MUCH hotter during combustion. Consider that exhaust gas may run anywhere from 700 to 1300 degrees in a totally stock car!
The reason why running an intercooler on an NA car does produce anything useful is that ambient air doesn't cool ambient air - two things of equal temperature don't have an effect on one another.
