That's partially true. Astronauts can't burp in the traditional sense because there's no gravity to separate gas from liquid in their stomachs. However, they can still experience the sensation of gas building up in their digestive system.
The gas doesn't have anywhere to go, so it can cause discomfort. Astronauts have to learn techniques to release the gas through other means, such as swallowing it down or using a special valve in their spacesuit.
