Yes, this is patently true. However, in a soda machine the kegs are
used to carry non-carbonated concentrate. The only pressure is that
needed to push the concentrate into the machine, where it is mixed
with force carbonated water. This is NOT going to work for beer.

Beer needs to be carbonated in the keg, then dispensed. It can be
force carbonated, or naturally carbonated and CO2 used to push it out
.... either works.
