This is correct. If you're not jailbroken and you'd like to tether your iPhone to use its internet connection on another device, you will have to sign up for a tethering plan with AT&T.
If you jailbreak and enable "backdoor" tethering, it's likely that they'll know you're tethering anyway and force you into a tethering plan.
Works the same way for Verizon, too. However, with Vz, you can buy only the time you need. You don't need a contractual thing to tether. I'm not sure about whether they will prorate if you use less than a month's worth. I think I read somewhere this is true. It's $20 for a month to tether - certainly worth it if you are traveling. Very convenient and works very well.
