I heard from a development professional that:

"All div is relative, even without you setting position:relative "

Is this correct?

The default position is static for any HTML element, if not explicitly specified

position: static;

No, because when you apply:

div{
    top:100px;
    left:200px;
}

a div does not appear to change, whereas in:

div{
    position:relative;
    top:100px;
    left:200px;
}

is noticeable.
