You should train each body part at least once a week to get some exercise benefits, twice a week if you want to get exercise benefits without the soreness and thrice a week if you want to get results. So no, it is not true that you should only you should only train each body part once a week. However, be careful not to over-exert yourself. Training a body part more than thrice a week should be reserved for sports-specific goals and done with caution to avoid overtraining.
Overtraining is not allowing the body to recover from the stress that exercise puts in it. Overtraining lowers the body's immune system, making you susceptible to disease and increasing the risks for injuries which are counterproductive to improving health.
