What you heard is true. You sure need to have your passport with you and there is a grace period of 3 days after arrival to make your purchase. These strict rules are in place because in the 90's a lot of tourists used to give their passports to alcohol traders to purchase duty free alcohol, which was then sold at a premium in the market. You can make your purchase as soon as you arrive in sharm, there is no waiting period, just do not exceed the 3 day grace period.
