That is true of pretty much any RV; with very few exceptions, they do not hold up well at all in a serious crash. I think you're right that seat belts would be of little advantage when seated in the house part in such a situation. Even if the basic structure held together, there are innumerable household things that could and likely would go flying every which way--the contents of drawers and cupboards and shelves and so forth.
In a more minor crash or sudden panic stop, on the other hand, seat belts in RVs may very well prevent injuries such as broken limbs or concussions or similar. Needless to say, it is always advisable to avoid crashing at all so much as it is possible to do so.
