That is true of the Mac Plus, and [I believe] of the Mac Portable.  It
is not true of the SE, SE/30, and all members of the Mac II family...
these machines do provide termination power (unless you inadvertently
short out the terminator-power line and blow the little surface-mount
fuse on the motherboard).
