Does NTFS write files two times when compression is used?

I've read in this answer https://superuser.com/a/1358858/1506333 that NTFS does double writes, uncompressed data first, then compressed, is it true?

Motive Nº1: It will kill SSD much faster, since it makes two writes; NTFS compression always writes uncompressed data prior to start compression on RAM and then re-write compressed data only if it is a gain of at least 4KiB.
