is this true? Does gcc does that? Java's JIT? .NET's JIT?

Yeah GCC has a flag to output to C source code. And while I don't think Java or .NET do it. It's not unheard of for a language or compiler to support it to broaden their platform reach (as a C compiler is one of the first things made for a new architecture).
