Not true for SIC.

You don't always need a type rating to sit in the right seat, but there is some required training... Look at 61.55

There is a difference between the AIRPLANE being type certified for two pilots, and the pilot needing a type rating. SIC type ratings are usually not required by the airplane, but rather by the type of operation (ie, international ops per ICAO).

But either way, if you just went for an airplane ride with no training at all, better not log it. They might reject you for breaking FAR 61.55, or they might decide to talk in-depth about the peculiarities of the landing gear system in that airplane...which your interviewer will just naturally have 3000 hours in.
