Any one know if this is true?

I doubt it. For this to happen, one cell phone would have to act as a receiver and the other as a transmitter. Cell phones have transceivers built in, but they're meant for the cellular or PCS bands, which are nowhere close to your standard garage opener bands (I'm assuming these are 27, 49, or 900 MHz). Second, the cell phone would have to be listening for these transmissions.
Eventually you'll probably see cell phones which are able to replace your key entirely.
