Then the sales guy says...

What he said was one thing. What he really told you was that he knows less about Glocks than a first time Glock owner who actually reads the owner's manual.

So is it reasonable to assume that's not the assertion of Glock & Company, and not some new whiz bang clean technology?

From the owner's manual.
To ensure the most reliable functioning of your Glock pistol, you should follow a regularly scheduled maintenance program. The Glock pistol is hightly resistant to adverse conditions. Nevertheless, your pistol should be properly cleaned and lubricated to prevent corrosion and to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can affect the action or operation of your pistol.
Your Glock pistol should be field stripped, cleaned and lubricated as follows:
1. When brand new, before the first time it is fired.
2. At least once a month.
3. After each time it is fired (after each range trip).
4. As required. This will be determined by the pistol's exposure to adverse conditions such as rain, snow, perspiration, salt water, dirt dust, lint, etc. Additionally, the pistol should be cleaned and inspected if it has been dropped or if any defects are suspected or malfunctions are experienced.
The monthly maintenance recommendation probably relates primarily to guns that are actually being carried or otherwise used on a regular basis without being fired.
