I believe the statement is true. The heat transfer involved here is called conduction. It is one type of heat transfer where it caused by the collisions of the particles in a certain body. As the you add heat to the object, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases therefore more collisions could happen which would mean energy is dissipated or transferred from molecule to molecule.
