This is true as we are talking about the carbon steel in general. There are however ways to demagnetize carbon steel so that it i not magnetized (magnetic wont stick to it) but this change lasts up to few years.
Anyway this was sort of hifi from me and have nothing to do with everyday carbon steels. I couldn't even imagine how much would demagnetizing cost: as far as i know, demagnetizing is used in very limited hightech industry only.
