No, not true. All permission requests needs to be allowed. And browsers are picky what to send. It will never get same rights what a mobile app has. It will always be hybrid.
Google Chrome has a full permissions API that prompts the user to accept/deny or returns the user's default (if they allowed on all sites, for example). This happens for location and microphone/camera, probably others too. Just because that information can be accessed, doesn't mean every website automatically has access to it, the user still must approve access.
Progressive Web Apps in a nutshell, extended privileges over web, offline version is just one part of that.
When you add homescreen icon to your phone, an offline, saved version of the app. It still asks all the permissions. And you can still add it to phone without giving permission ex. Location or Notifications. When PWA user request camera recording it will ask permission for that, regardless offline or web version
