Is it true that charging a smartphone overnight damages its lithium-ion battery?

No. A Skeptics StackExchange answer states that modern smartphones cannot be overcharged because the charging control circuitry resides in the phone, and that the charger turns off when the battery is full, so overnight charging does not damage the battery. Another thread notes that keeping a lithium-ion battery half charged causes less stress, which is consistent with but does not directly settle the overnight-charging claim.
