Yes, that is true, but it's simple CSS--with styles for block-style (first) paragraphs and then the body paragraph. it won't/doesn't do p+p or the like, sadly.
Although, having said that, you
can sorta do it by setting the "next paragraph" in the
style of the block-style paragraph so that the next paragraph is body text, and all the ensuing paragraphs are body text, until you get to the first para of the next chapter, whereupon you use the block style and then lather-rinse-repeat. It is almost as good as using p+p. In some ways, better.
You can
even do it by setting the heading style for the chapter header to have "next paragraph" be the block-style, and
then the block-style has the next paragraph as body, (and proceed from there, like I said above), and do it that way.
(I do this in my Word "template" documents, which I use to show a customer what a given layout in a given font might look like. I have all the headings and styles with dependencies, so if someone thinks that they want, for example, Bookman Old Style, I can change ONE thing, ONE style in the Word doc and the change dominoes (cascades) through the entire file. Export a PDF and give them an idea of what they might be looking at. It's the same thing, really, as we're discussing with p+p.)
