Ask the person that told you this for evidence to support the claim.

That's correct.
However, a small complication to my answer:
It may be that the person was thinking of the InnoDB tablespace.
The InnoDB storage handler manages all InnoDB tables within a single
tablespace, no matter which database they come from. But even so,
each database has its own directory, and InnoDB tables do have a .frm
file in the appropriate database directory.
