Not true. "Made in USA" has
a legal definition enforced by the Federal Trade Commission's Department of Consumer Protection. The definition is quite strict and this definition is different than "Country of Origin" for imported products.
In your example the manufacturer
could legally claim "Assembled in USA from imported components".
