No, that's not true. If you know of any of your own IPR *that is
necessarily infringed* by implementing your contribution, you must
disclose. And what it means to be "necessarily infringed" has some
details to it, and it might not be even implementation that causes the
problem. And that's why it says at the top of the current document that
there are exceptions.
see - its not that hard to say this briefly
Really, it is quite hard to state the rules briefly such that it doesn't
include *more* than you are required to do. Your statement did not.
