Not true, peers can originate calls into the system as well. When 
asterisk receives an inbound SIP call it will match the IP against the 
list of peers. See comments from 1.2 sip.conf

; type = user   a device that authenticates to us by "from" field to 
place calls
; type = peer   a device we place calls to or that calls us and we match 
by host
