Not true, at least for Sweden. You send your foreign credentials in to the pan-Sweden post-secondary Swedish academic admissions agency and all they want is the transcript and copy of the diploma, they will not accept copies of your assignments. They then decide what it is worth (categorize it into high school, trade school, remedial adult education, first-cycle or second-cycle credentials). It is written ON the transcript whether or not you had a final thesis, so if it is not written they will know there was none performed - no amount of homework will replace a final thesis. That said, some European countries including the UK have schools where there is no final thesis in a Master's degree, and I doubt Sweden is really denying them of those credentials. Sweden itself has the requirement that any university degree (including an Associate's) must include a final thesis, but Sweden accepted my American Associate's which did not have a final thesis, as a full degree. So as credentials itself, they will be accepted as "something".
It's true that most if not all Master's studies in Sweden require a Bachelor's in a similar subject, which also included a final thesis. So a titulo propio, without a final thesis, would not be accepted in admissions to the Master level. However that is a separate topic from having the degree itself be recognized as valid in general.

Yeah. I took the test in December 2023, so right when ENEB was changing its stuff.
Interesting. In Belgium they won't evaluatue anything without a thesis for a master's, but that's also because they are very behind when it comes to international education systems.
