For the most part this is true, and it often even extends to USB (and 
possibly firewire) external burners.  The only burners I've seen that 
isn't standardized are some HP burners (both SCSI and USB, but not IDE 
it looks like).  However, Linux has drivers to support them at the 
kernel level as well.  cdrecord also has support I do believe.
