True with the caveat, The new growths, or roots from the monocots are from nodes or buds, not from the stem itself as from a dicot stem. If there are no live nodes [buds], the monocot will simply die. I think you'll find that to be true for the grasses as well.
Any new growth from a back bulb division must have bulbs with live buds on them. Here, I'm thinking of how Oncidiums are propagated.
