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.
Please refer to the Clean Sweep game manual found on this page:

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.
