Not quite, but you're more or less on the right track; I think you may have heard a slightly garbled or perhaps oversimplified version.
It is true that most animals and plants can synthesize vitamin C and that guinea pigs, humans, and most species of bat cannot. However, there are a few others that also cannot; capybaras (a large rodent), all primates in the suborder Haplorrhini (the "dry-nosed" primates, which includes humans, apes, and monkeys), and some kinds of birds and fish.
