Not 100% true. If you're operating a business, as a pro-guide, you will still have to have the appropriate licenses, insurances, liability protection/legal representation, etc.
No, a guide may not need to make arrangements for lodging and meals, but the rest of the business is the same as far as the state and Uncle Sam are concerned.
