From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The statement is correct, rsync by itself doesn't use ssh if you run it as an daemon and if you trigger rsync over ssh then it doesn't use daemon but instead starts rsync with UID of the ssh-user.
But, you can run rsyncd and bind it only to localhost and connect to that over ssh-tunnel. That way you can get benefits of rsync daemon and still have encrypted connection with ssh.
