Whether or not that's true is a little vague. There were four (identical) IG-88 units, designated A-D. They took over an extremely mechanized world. IG-88B was sent out to learn about the galaxy at large and became a bounty hunter; however, he was destroyed by Boba Fett at cloud city, but not before he transferred his consciousness back to Mechis III.
IG-88C and IG-88D attempted to disable/destroy Boba Fett's ship, however, he destroyed IG-88C, who transferred himself to IG-88D, who was then shortly destroyed afterwards by Boba Fett as well. He was so shocked that he forgot to upload himself to Mechis III.
Meanwhile, IG-88A intercepted a freighter carrying the Death Star II computer core, killing the original crew and replacing them with robot substitutes. He then uploaded himself into the computer core, and destroyed the original freighters (with his robotic body onboard, I believe.)
As a result, he was inhabiting the Death Star II's computer core when it blew up..whether or not he transferred his consciousness is unclear.
End result: One or two IG-88 personalities were left on Mechis III post-BOE, and an IG-88 chassis was left on Cloud City. (Boba Fett destroyed IG-88B by detonating his own grenades inside of his chassis, but the outer armor apparently still survived; see the background of Cloud City in the Ugnaughts scene.
