Answer: True.

Explanation: The pinna (or auricula ) is the outside part of the ear.

This organ is the one that "Collects" the sound waves of the enviroment and sends them to the inner ear. So it is true, the pinna is the first organ that detects the soundwaves in the enviroment and send them to other organs to "decode" the soundwaves into information.
