Not true. The outboard wing still flies at the same angle of attack. With inboard flaps down, the inboard wing angle of attack is increased.
.
Sorry, it's true. The plane's attitude is adjusted for the speed with flaps down. This lowers the angle of attack of the whole plane because of the additional Cl due to the flap deflection.
The "ballooning" with flap.

Fully agree with Tall Paul.
