Not true. You can classify a road to whatever … where it is does not matter. It is the usefulness/function of the road that should determine its classification. A road going through a remote area can be primary … if it connects lager towns. A town in the center of a remote area could well have a road or two that are classified as primary .
As a guide … roads that are above the classification ‘unclassified’ in remote areas should be checked for correct tagging. But they can and do exist.

I totally agree with Warin61. Here are some wiki pages that you might find useful as a guide for road classification
