This is true for NOR flash, which normally has a direct mapping of bits to cells and supports byte writes (or maybe even bit writes). It's not true for NAND flash, even if it's SLC: the individual cells are substantially less reliable so it requires ECC and block writes. A block that has been erased most likely won't have valid contents at all.
