Is it true that any balls that a robot is touching or holding at the end of a match will not have those points counted against them??? During competition my alliance would keep pointing it out.

No, this is not true.http://www.vexrobotics.com/vex-clean-sweep.shtml
Pay close attention to the definition of “scored”.
Scored - A ball is scored in a scoring zone if the entire ball is within the rectangular space defined by the edges of the scoring zone, and not touching a robot of the alliance that the scoring zone belongs to. Any large ball which is not legally introduced into play counts as being scored in the opponents scoring zone. Note: A scoring zone extends infinitely perpendicular to the playing field surface within the scoring zone boundaries.
