Quite sure this is still true, checked current add-ons, there are a few that download/upload content but these are all explicit actions.
- game_engine_publishing, operator to download blenderplayer for other platforms. - io_online_sketchfab: operator to upload content (the main purpose of the add-on). I'm not sure about blender-id, from the readme it seems like add-ons that use it would not be doing some hidden/background communication - Francesco/Sybren can better speak to this. >From a quick look at addons_contrib (not included in releases) these aren't doing any hidden communication either.
