The fact stated in the question is not true.
Iron Oxide is reduced by carbon (coke) to form iron metal. This is a well-known process for reduction of iron oxide. Other oxides of metals, such as Zinc and Nickel can be similarly reduced using carbon.
Some metals, such as aluminium, are so reactive that their oxides cannot be reduced by carbon.
