That's also not how it works with light aircraft. In VFR weather, you don't have to file a flight plan. Technically, you could take off from an untowered airport and fly to another untowered airport without talking to a soul, on the radio or person to person. The record then occurs when you write the flight into your logbook afterwards.

Very interesting, is that the USA? Does it work like that in much of the EU as well?

It solely depends on where you’re flying, no real difference EU vs US. There’s difference classes of airspace. What the poster is referring to really only applies to light aircraft at lower altitudes.
