Technically, this is correct; starting an X server by itself will not start any additional X applications, nor should it do so, & I suspect this was your point.
However, most users start X via the startx script. Unless
~/.xinitrc exists, startx will invoke
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc which starts the
fvwm(1) window manager,
xclock,
xterm, &
xconsole.
