I only need to learn 3 chords? (rock, rock star, quote, guitar)

Hi guys, I'm trying to learn guitar. I'm brand new. I'm working on G, Em, C and D7th. I was searching on Google and found an article that says you only need to learn three chords and then you're set. Those chords are Major, minor, and dominant.

I'm completely lost. Aren't there many different major chords that are similar. So how does learning one Major chord help you learn the other major chords?

And the same with the other two, minor and dominant?

Does the article have it right? If so, why am I confused?
