False.

Most ATP from aerobic respiration is generated by oxidative phosphorylation (the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis). The citric acid cycle itself produces only a small direct amount of ATP/GTP (about 2 ATP equivalents per glucose) but supplies NADH and FADH2 that drive the bulk of ATP production.
