It is true.

If you missed the boat on installing the packages before reboot into new
kernel, you can shutdown, pop the SD Card, insert to host and put the
packages on SD Card, reinsert and then reboot and install (and run depmod).

Subsequently kernel updates will also pull in the necessary matching
modules, so this is a one-off hassle.
