Not quite true, but you made me look up the minutia BS I hate!!

Final Approach Point: When an FAF is not designated, such as on an approach which incorporates an on-airport VOR or NDB, this point is typically where the procedure turn intersects the final apporach course inbound. (Jeppesen Instrument/Commercial manual, p.7-5).

Final Approach Segment: for a precision approach begins where the glide slope is intercepted at minimum GS intercept altitude shown on the approach chart, or a lower altitude if authorized by ATC. (same page, same book).
