It’s not false. The first quote is about asymmetric, and the latter is about symmetric.
It is possible for employers to use alternative methods. IRS Pub. 15-T sec. 6 has details on common alternatives and constraints.
I have no idea to what extent employers support any of these alternative methods. I imagine it's limited to employers where much of their workforce is overwithheld using the standard methods. One example might be a school district where teachers are only paid when in session.
This is not correct. It's calculated per pay period. Please see IRS Publication 15 and 15-T.
