Is it true this helps keep them fresh longer?

Yes. It is true. The reason is that the air sac is at the "large" end of the egg. If you store them with that end pointing down, the air sac will try to rise through the egg. If the air sac is already at the top, it doesn't try to push its way through the egg to rise. That's the simple answer. lol...
