This is not true, I got the TomTom XXL 540TM World Traveler (Lifetime Traffic & Maps Edition) and the map updates work for both US and Europe. Note that the unit only has enough memory to hold US or Europe, you have to load the Europe map before you can update that map (and same for US).

However, I am happier now using TomTom on my iPhone. Not clear what the map updates will be there, I think they define lifetime as three years?
