Is this true with all DME arcs? So, am I mistaken to believe that I can
legally fly this approach without a DME?

My understanding was that I use the VOR to provide radial information along
the arc, then use the IFR-certified GPS to provide the DME mileage to
remain within the confines of the arc.

This is how DME arcs were taught to me in an aircraft without DME two years
ago and I took away from this education that I would have been legal to fly
this approach.
