Not always, e.g. a dealer may already have a surplus of that model on the used lot and not want to hold any more in inventory. But in general I think you are right. I once asked a local used car dealer what they actually did to their vehicles once they arrived from auction, i.e. did they change fluids, do any kind of inspection, etc. and to my surprise he was honest and said they don't do anything except wash them and put them on the lot.
