Not true. There were some anamorphic LDs manufactured in Japan that pre-dated DVD. Japan has had widescreen TVs (and HDTVs) readily available since the early- to mid-1990s, so it made sense to have anamorphic LDs in that market.

DVD definitely brought anamorphic presentation to the masses, though. Especially the laggardly North American market...
