It's true. My GSO 8" is the same. I use a short adapter for eyepieces but the DSLR comes to an easy focus without one. The MPCC is also handy because it eliminates the need for an extra T-Ring tube thingy and is also threaded for a Moon and Skyglow filter if needed. It doesn't alter the F/ ratio or alter the focal plane. Here is a simple shot of Acrux taken last night (in 90% moonlight).
