I hear this a lot among racing game fans and in Forza Motorsport 4 if you want to have Porsche, you have to buy Porsche via DLC for 20 -blam!-ing dollars.
Is this true? Does EA really own the right to Porsche to be in racing games?

Based on articles I can find on the subject EA does still own the exclusive right to feature Porsche vehicles in their games. This goes both ways though. Up until recently Microsoft (And thus Forza), were the only ones who could feature Ferrari vehicles in their games. I think this license lapsed though, because NFS: Rivals does have Ferrari's in it.
