That is true.

Agreements can be made witout forming a contract. A gift, for example is an agreement to give and to receive but because there is no consideration (repayment), it is not a contract.

Likewise, contracts are not the only way to create obligations. The obligation of duty of care for the welfare of others, for instance, resides in Tort law created by common law or statutory law, or both.
