I don't think I can accept this statement in this absolute a form: for many authors index terms are precisely a marker indicating the occurrence of a specific word or phrase at a specific location. That is, while sometimes index entries are exactly as Erik states (and this is why they would normally generate a page range in the rendered index) it is not an exclusive, or necessarly even typical, use of index markers.
