That is true on Bendix and Wagner brakes, as well as DElco Moraine but
not many import brakes and a lot of later model Chrysler brakes that
use a "ratchet" instead of a theaded adjuster and star wheel.

see:

for one example (Chrysler)

Also, vehicles that have a star wheel adjuster up by the cyl instead
of down at the bottom also adjust by emergency brake application - not
backing up. Homda is an example. These are "fixed anchor" or "dual
servo" brakes.
Toyota works this way too. I was looking for a good picture and found
this one - for a Tundra - showing very clearly it is the hand
brake/parking brake that adjusts the rear drum brakes..

and this one shows the old Dodge K car and Omni style.
