Not true with Red Hat Linux installations.
/etc/named.conf is pre-installed if you install BIND during installation. By
default, BIND is configured as a caching nameserver with an in-addr.arpa zone
for the loopback subnet.
I believe that an installation of BIND from an RPM will install
/etc/named.conf.
