I cannot confirm it, I can actually refute it: I use spell-checking in
the native Windows port of Emacs without any Cygwin program anywhere
in sight.
What you need is to find a native Windows port of Ispell or Aspell;
there are a few of them floating around (sorry, no URL). After that,
everything with Just Work (tm).

Unless your Emacs is a Cygwin build, I don't recommend mixing it with
a Cygwin port of speller: there are subtle incompatibilities.
