Default AFCI circuit breaker requirements

My understanding is that under the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC
2008?) AFCI circuit breakers are required for all residential circuits --
not just in bedroom circuits.

However, I just heard from one unofficial source that AFCI circuit breakers
are not required under the newest NEC for kitchen and bathroom circuits
because they have GFCI protected receptacles. Is that correct?
