Rohit, no, not true at all.... When you receive WM_TIMER messages, they come in through the app's message loop which is running in the main VCL thread.
You can run into the problems to (which I believe) you allude if you you use SetTimer with a null window handle and use a callback proc instead, but very few programs use this kind of timer.
