Which version you are checking against?
Here it org-table-import docu continues:


;;;

Such files can be produced by most
spreadsheet and database applications.  If no tabs (at least one per line)
are found, lines will be split on whitespace into fields.

The initial sentence is just wrong, as TAB is only one thing tried - 
there are a lot more.
See docu of org-table-convert-region for details.
