Companies can advertise any wage they want as long as you accept their final offer- is this true?

I’ve done a very slight amount of reading on worker’s rights- and from what I’ve learned, workplaces, when listing on places like Indeed, do not have to make their salary or job description accurate, since public job listings are a form of “advertisement”. So for example, if they are offering $17 an hour on a job listing, they could just not even consider giving you that and offer you $10 an hour after your interview, and as long as they’re being honest about what they will actually pay you and you (for some insane reason) accept, it’s totally legal. Does anyone know if this is 100% true? If so, what does that mean for employees and expectations from public listings?
