Not so; I know for a fact that a Synaptics Touchpad will not work unless there's an entry in xorg.conf for it. There are probably others as well.
I've had Synaptics on three laptops (Dell Inspiron 8100, Asus S5A and Lenovo ThinkPad T61p), and the touchpad work on all of them. The SHMConfig option is only needed to access additional configuration options, but basic functionality is available without any modifications to xorg.conf.
Here (Toshiba Tecra with both a nipple among the keys and a touchpad) the touchpad doesn't work at all. Not too bad in my case, as I tend to swipe over it when typing (with mostly unpleasant results), and I use an external mouse in any case. The nipple works (but is rather useless with only 2 buttons).
