Not true. You can log into another machine with any username you want.
Either you provide it on the command line (user@host), or you configure
the username (and even the hostname) in your ~/.ssh/config. Using
public-key authentication on the server (which is a good anyway) you
don't even need to know the user's password on the remote system (once
you have your public key in place on the remote machine).
