I think that is relatively accurate rule of thumb although they look at more than CELs. The actual emissions numbers are looked at from the OBDII connector.

From the Georgia Emissions FAQ site:

•A fuel cap inspection to check for adequate seal.
•A visual inspection of the catalytic converter to check for tampering or removal.

All 1995 and older model year vehicles will receive:
•A TSI test or an Accelerated Simulation Mode (ASM2) test – This dual-mode test includes a 25/25 test (25 percent load at 25 MPH) and a 50/15 test (50 percent load at 15 MPH).
•A fuel cap inspection to check for adequate seal.
•A visual inspection of the catalytic converter to check for tampering or removal.

An inspector can reject a vehicle for testing if it is considered unsafe to test. If the test has already begun when the safety problem is detected, the inspector may charge the full price of the test.
