This isn't entirely accurate.

Note that the VLAN tag is applied during the ingress into the switch. If
I have a host (or switch etc) that is incapable of 802.1q that I want
configured into a non-native VLAN (vlan 500 for example), then I would
configure the port the host is connected to as a vlan 500 access port.

The device connected to that port would then be part of vlan 500.

Yes, in Cisco-land, VLAN 1 is the default, native VLAN. Most people will
disable vlan 1, and configure native to be an arbitrary number.

Also, there are cases where the native vlan warnings are acceptable,
such as when you need to bridge your network via layer-2 to an outside
network that you don't control, and both parties are using separate
native vlans.
