Tis true - it also doesn't show games that are full but haven't started yet. The games list does refresh itself fairly frequently though, so just because a list comes up empty, if you leave it on screen for a minute or two, games will pop up.
Or as someone else posted, just make your own game... You may sit there on your own for a while, but in BoP it never rains it pours lol. When another game ends there's a bunch of players looking for another and hopefully they'll come to yours...
I'm finding my PSP is really handy with this game... Either host or join then play PSP until the loading screen.
EDIT: maybe it should go on the patch wishlist for the server lists to show both full and in progress games...? Just so the online doesn't look as dead as it currently does, which may have a negative impact on the community. I mean, if you just bought the game and tried to jump online and all game modes show no games (which often happens) you may never come back...
I'm not advocating allowing you to join games in progress, but if it listed these games (well separated from joinable games), and showed the current score/time so you could see how nearly finished it was, it would be better IMO. As it currently stands, you can almost see the tumbleweeds...
