This is false. IPMI is a completely different thing from the Intel ME. It is implemented on a separate chip (bmc) and has its own NIC (usually with its own physical port)
AMT on the other hand provides its network functionality by hijacking the host's IP, and siphoning off traffic destined for its ports (16992 and 16993). This is one of the things that makes it scary, and just one of the differences between it and IPMI.
Source: I have worked extensively with AMT and built a semi-open-source Python management library for it in a previous job.
