I think it may depend to some extent what you define as an echo.
But apart from that I think your alternative suggestion may be true also.

I based my figure of 100mS on this
Wikipedia article (See the paragraph titled 'echo, in acoustics'), and on having a vague recollection of having seen that figure mentioned elsewhere!
Whilst it may be possible to hear delays of less than 100mS on very short, non-repetitive sounds, for most normal situations in which echo occurs, I think it probably isn't.
Regards,
Dave.
