Is it true that in the calculation of nation's unemployment rate un-employees who stopped receiving unemployment benefits are not counted?
This is true, so the rate being thrown around is very misleading. This was made a big "talking point" in the 80s when they were also trying to downplay the recession, but I am not sure what the proper references are, although I used to. After unemployment runs out or if people change to "self-employed" or entrepreneurs no matter how underpaid they are they are no longer counted. This assisted the transition to many if the workforces being forced into temps jobs with little or no benefits, or being lost to homelessness or dire poverty. Also those getting welfare even in back to work programs are not counted.

Yes, that is correct. In the calculation of a nation's unemployment rate, individuals who have stopped receiving unemployment benefits are still considered unemployed if they are actively seeking work. They would be classified as part of the labor force and counted in the unemployment rate.
