This is not correct. The only place you get condensation is places where warm air hits cold objects. The physics here makes the air go from warm to cold, and by doing so reduces the ammount of moisture it can contain. If the air is cooled down enough, the air cannot keep the moisture anymore, and you get condensation. Cold air hitting warmer objects will never cause condensation (except extremely hight speeds that cause preasure fall behind objects. We're talking jet planes here...)
This is by the way the reason for the AC to leave a puddle of water under the car. The air is cooled down by the AC, and by doing so, the water condenses there. If this was not the case, you should get condensation on your windscreen when using AC in the heat. I bet that never happened
