Here is a great article that explains the timer job involved, the default schedule time (so you can check success) and some t-sql that allows you to view the stats and when last updated.<br />
It also discusses some things that may/not happen and how to do some detective work.<br />
<br />
But in a nutshell, yes it is true, you can check success/fail of timer jobs in central admin under monitoring.
