This isn't a universal truth. It is perfectly possible to cut a hypercompressed master to vinyl - you just have to back off the levels to be able to fit it on the side. This of course degrades the S/N ratio, but since hypercompressed masters have little dynamic range, the loss of S/N ratio isn't such a problem.
Although some vinyl is cut from a less compressed master than the CD, there are also examples of recent vinyl releases having been cut from the same master as the CD. So buying the vinyl certainly does NOT guarantee that you'll get a less mangled master.
