Not quite. Only two categories of apps have the possibility of presenting issues - those that Apple allows to use the GPS or VoIP API's do not have to terminate in the background, and will definitely impact battery life. Skype is categorized as a VoIP app, and is active in the background at all times. Other apps that appear to check the internet in the background are using push notifications, and have negligible effects on battery life.
