Not sure if this is true, but I've heard that the runs not counting occurs when the error happens with 2 outs (error would've been the 3rd out). The reasoning behind that was the pitcher would be out of the inning so therefore doesn't count. I would really like to know if that was true or not.

Yes, but keep in mind that a pitcher who comes in after the error that would have been out #3 does not get that benefit. So, let's say Pitcher #1 gets two outs and then there is an error. Then he gives up five consecutive solo home runs. That' six unearned runs. He's replaced by Pitcher #2 who gives up two more home runs before getting an out to end the inning. Pitcher #2 gave up two earned runs.
