This is not correct. I don't know what you're reading to draw that conclusion, but...no.

The only thing likely to require a -4 penalty to both hands like that is a Dual Weapon Attack. That penalty is specific to a Dual Weapon Attack and in no way applies if you do not make use of the Dual Weapon Attach mechanic.

EDIT: I'd note that unless you have Extra Attack, Dual Weapon Attack is usually the only way you would make a two-weapon attack. You might be allowed to with a Rapid Strike or AoA (Double) but there's almost never a reason to.
