I don't *think* that's true.
I know if you declare an intent to invade on a province that you (or a
formal ally) captures that turn, you don't have to pay war faction
bribes if you name an army in the invasion orders that could have made
the invasion.
This does not distract the army from being able to do other things,
either.

Example: Turn 2 Kusan executes the invasion of the Kusan Steppes with
IA1 (IA2 invades elsewhere).  In those same orders he declares an intent
to invade The Kusan Steppes again, as well as the Wuhan Marsh.  If he
gets an open field battle (as he hopes) and wins (which he better!) or
if Khitai wins and they're allied, then he will be in the Kusan Steppes
at the end of the turn.
In his turn 3 orders he can assign IA1 to both invade the Kusan Steppes
again *and* the Wuhan Marsh.  In his turn 3 results he will get a
comment about "you can't invade a province you own!", but he will not be
charged war faction bribes for anything.
If, however, he got stuck in a Set Piece battle in the Kusan Steppes, he
will have to pay war faction bribes for *both* invasions, (unless he an
get IA2 to do one or the other for him instead).
This sort of pattern is the _best_ way to rapid expansion against the
Non-Unifieds.  On turn 3 with Khauran, I already have six provinces.
