Is it really true that when a refrigerator is open for so long the electricity will increase?

Yes.
The refrigerator is set to hold a certain temperature, that's probably cooler than the environment where the fridge is sest. When you open the door, the cold air will leak out, so the fridge will start working to get the temperature down again. If you were to shut the door the temperature inside would drop rather quickly, and the fridge could stop working for awhile. But as long as the door is open, the temperature will remain high and the fridge will keep working. And as long as it's working it will be using up electric energy.

Can a kitchen be cooled indefinitely by leaving the door of the refrigerator open?
No, although the short-term effect would be for the refrigerator air / freezer air to mix with and cool the air in the room.The function of refrigerator is a heat exchanger; it removes heat from the inside of the fridge and pumps it to the outside of the fridge.If we open the refrigerator door, it will remove the heat from the air that mixes inside, but then will exchange the heat back into the kitchen. That's why the room can't be cooled for a long period. In fact, due to waste heat, the room could become warmer once the refrigerator contents have reached room temperature.
