I think what you mean is that there is no F note in a G chord. The song here is in the key of C. I think "they" refer to this as a passing tone, but I am probably wrong about this. There is a F note in the C major scale, however, so it is in the "key" of C.

The same thing happened in the lead-in bar with a D note. Not present in a C chord, but present in a C major scale.

Musical. Pleasing.
