This is true. And building a ported enclosure yourself is a somewhat daunting task for a first timer for sure. there are many variables that will have an effect on your speakers performance and/or introduce unwanted noises.
Sealed boxes are more forgiving to the builder, and will play a flatter frequency response throughout its range, but lower frequencies may suffer. processing will help with that problem to an extent, and honestly, the untrained ear would never notice.
Remember that every sub will have its own design parameters, (box volume for sealed, ported ) and they must be followed for optimum performance. Some subs will only perform in one or the other.
