I don't think this is correct.
If you just delete e-mail from a PST, it will remain in it (even if try to permanently delete e-mail with shift+delete so you don't just move it to Deleted Items folder).
However, it will be actually removed when Outlook does PST folder compaction. I'm not sure how often Outlook does that process but you can do it manually by right clicking on your PST folder in Outlook and then go to Properties, Advance.

Best regards,
