not entirely true, he plays the D/F# with his thumb, however past that you wont see his thumb fretting much.

ive only seen him use his thumb for muting, but as tadder said, there are maybe a few notes he frets with his thumb

all good guitar players use their thumb....its a tough to get use to and keep the notes sounding correct....but it pays off in the end
