That is certainly not true. A "compound" microscope is one that has an objective AND an ocular. Typically the front focal distance is so short that illumination through the specimen is most common. A "simple" microscope has only one magnifying lens group, not two or more. Short front focus makes lighting from the side more difficult but not impossible or even rare.
