Yes, it is true that an individual must have a SSN before the due date of the return in order to be claimed as a dependent for certain credits. The only way around this rule is if you'd filed an extension on your 2022 return, which it does not sound like you did, since you had filed a return before the deadline. The Credit for Other Dependents is available for a dependent who has an ITIN and meets other requirements.
