This is no longer true. There is nothing official about it, but think about it.....getting indexed is not as easy as starting a blogger blog and leaving it as it is. If it were really that simple, this forum and a whole lot of others wouldn't even exist.
Yeah publicise your blog and generate tons of backlinks to get yourself on the the big G. Do a search in google for the keywords that you are in. Try to put a backlink on each of the links (assuming they are all blogs or legit websites) in the first to pages of search results for starters.
