No it is not true. The pdf content stream is a binary stream with basic primitives: draw share, draw image, position pointer x,y, draw text..etc

PDF however also have layers, those are like several content stream stacked on top of each others. While technically feasible, I never saw any PDF where images were is a separate layer.
