Yes, normally I'd say (in my case as a female):Mein Freund hat gesagt... My boyfriend said...
But: Ein Freund von mir hat gesagt...
A friend of mine said...
Das ist ein Freund vs. Das ist mein Freund (boyfriend).
So when talking about your girlfriend use the possesive pronoun, when talking about a friend use the indefinite article.

Sometimes people use "sie ist meine Freundin" and "sie ist (nur) eine Freundin" to make the difference clear. When talking about a third person, "die Freundin von X" vs. "eine Freundin von X".
In principle, "sie ist meine Freundin" and "die Freundin" can mean both "girl-friend" and "just a friend". One has to figure it out from the context. Usually it's not a problem.
