That is not true.

As a web hosting company, you may want to have one IP per web site (to
allow SSL for example) but all hosting on a single machine.

There exist some exceptions to the generalization above.

You've mentioned a possibility, although I would also seriously question whether a single webserver with hundreds or thousands of distinct SSL sites on it is really a good idea.
