The  above statement is True.
A switch in an electric circuit is used to make or break the circuit i.e.  it helps to start or stop the current flow through the circuit. When a switch is in off position the circuit is not complete and it is said to be open, then no current flows through the circuit. Hence, the statement that when a switch is in off position the circuit is said to be open and no current flows through it is true.
