Is it true that all World War 2 recipeints of the combat infantrymans badge were awarded the bronze star?
Yes. Recipients of the CIB were decided to be eligible for a Bronze Star Medal a couple of years after the war. By that time most of the men were discharged from the service, and may never have been aware of this decision, or never bothered to apply for it. The Bronze Star could be awarded for valor, or for "meritorious service". If the award was for valor the Medal came with bronze "V devices", shaped like the letter "V" to be worn on the ribbons for the medal - a little one for the chest ribbon and a larger one for the ribbon of the actual medal. The Bronze Stars given to all recipients of the Combat Infantryman's Badge were for "meritorious service", so, no "V devices".
