That is very true.
Server 2008 is only required when running the Hyper-V role. The Standalone "Hyper-v Free" does not require a license.
The difference - the entitlement of server licenses that you can run within VMs. And the cost that those VM operating system licenses raise.
Either way, you pay for a license it is just if it is the OS of the host and you get free VM licenses, or you pay for the VM licenses directly.

I was under the impression that MS Hyper-V Server 2008 was free to anyone (no SA / SPLA requirement).
