On older certified aircraft they are. (That's probably was he's confused with.) My 1965 C172 was built before paper operating limitations came into being. She's covered in placards that are the legal operating limitations. On newer aircraft that are certified, SLSA, or experimental, you need a POH (for part 23 aircraft) or a DAR signed "hunk 'o paper."

Edward,
Markings on instruments, etc are NOT the op limits.
Op limits enumerate, amongst other things, if the aircraft can be used for training.
