If it's a one time pad, that's exactly true.

The logistics of using a one time pad for every communication are... hard. Especially with the requirement that the pad be of greater length than the data it encodes and the recipient having an idential copy of said pad.

But a one time pad is simple enough to use by hand and unbreakable if used correctly
