Final answer:

The statement is false; while USB devices connect through a common hub to the USB bus, the term 'system bus' refers to the bus connecting the processor, memory, and chipset within a computer system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement about USB devices is false. USB devices are indeed connected to one another or to a common point known as a hub before connecting to the USB bus. However, the USB bus is not called a system bus.

The USB bus is a serial bus standard for connecting devices, usually to a computer, but the term system bus refers to the bus that connects the major components of a computer or system, particularly the processor, memory, and the chipset facilitating communication between these components.
