As I understand it, that is only partially true for the
_masculine_ o-stem _nouns_. An exception are the barytone
acute roots, which have accent on the root, but a different
one, and it doesn't get pulled back any further by a
preposition. And not all AP(a) o-stem masculines can be
explained by Hirt's law (wrong vowel in Zaliznjak's list for
voloxU, goroxU, z^ukU, kurU, kustU, lukU, jugU, ...). There
are also barytone non-acute nouns (zoNbU-group) which
dialectally show AP(b) or AP(d) [i.e. enclomenic NA, oxytone
oblique].

It is almost never true for o-stem neuters: the barytone
acute ones are AP(a), of course, the barytone non-acute ones
are AP(b) masculines, and the neuter oxytones are AP(b)
neuters (except a small group [meNso,jaje] whch are AP(c)].
It is also not of the o-stem adjectives, where the oxytones
are AP(c), but the barytones are AP(a)/AP(b), as expected.
