No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by

Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.

Does the earth spin on its true poles or magnetic poles?

The Earth spins on its true or geographic poles, which are the points where the planet's axis of rotation intersects its surface. The magnetic poles, on the other hand, are where the Earth's magnetic field lines are perpendicular to its surface, and they do not coincide exactly with the geographic poles.
