False. AMD supported VP9 decoding as of UVD6. Their APUs got UVD6 in Carrizo, released in June 2015. Some Volcanic Islands GPUs (June 2015) had UVD6, with a full rollout of UVD6 in all Arctic Islands GPUs. (June 2016)
Note that AMD didn't support HEVC (Apple's codec of choice) until UVD6 either.

Many complaints about this. Some saying that Ryzen only supports a very limited profile of VP9, which would make sense.
