This is a stupid statement. Pretty much every code depends on a state (i.e. the content of the heap memory) and is thus a state machine (by its most generic definition).
I think he is referring mostly to a finite state machine, though. But even then, you have that quite often somehow in your code (think of global boolean variables).
