They can have both types of bearings. Most gassers will have ball bearings on the crank and needle bearings on the connecting rod.
I've seen a Mac saw that had needle bearings on the crank. Those usually do fine if you put a bronze thrust washer inside the case.

no, they're just saying that if it has roller bearings instead of ball bearings, that you should put a thrust washer on the crankshaft between the front crankbearing and the crankshaft, if it has ball bearings, it's all good
