That is actually incorrect. Zaptel timing is not required or used by MOH. But Asterisk's RTP implementation does use the incoming stream to time the outgoing stream. So if there are no incoming packets, no outgoing packets are sent, and you don't hear the music. This means that you can't use VAD/Silence detection on any SIP end-points with Asterisk. This affects any sounds played by Asterisk, including annoucements, ring-backs, etc., not just MOH.
