Is it true that white holes are a mathematically valid solution of the equations of general relativity, but there is no observational evidence that they exist?
Yes. A Wikipedia reference states that white holes are a hypothetical region of spacetime appearing in solutions of the Einstein field equations, and that there are no observed physical processes through which a white hole could be formed. A separate paper notes that the time-reversal invariance of the Einstein field equations admits a complementary boundary condition, though its text is truncated before naming white holes.
