Yep, this is true, which is why judicious pruning can be helpful from time to time.
For instance, let's say you have a trunk link between to switches that is carrying VLAN1, VLAN2, and VLAN3. However, on the second switch you only have users in VLAN1 and VLAN2, none in VLAN3. You discover that some protocols in use on VLAN3 are highly broadcast and multicast intensive. It doesn't make sense to trunk VLAN3 to the second switch if there are no users in that VLAN. In a case like this, it simply wastes bandwidth.
