It hasn't been true for a while. The "matrix", "scalar" and "series"
statements are just aliases for "genr"; as such, they can be omitted.
However, they may be useful to handle potentially ambiguous cases. For
example
genr scx = 0 # generates the scalar 0
scalar scx = 0 # same as above
series sex = 0 # generates a series full of 0s
# (no pun intended on anyone's private life)
matrix mx = 0 # generates a 1x1 zero matrix
