Hello LaiSheng, You did the right thing to sanity check what someone says via a list like NANOG. Your vendor is BSing you. Let me know if the person working for this vendor resembles my E-mail so I can bong him/her on the head. I do not know any US Tier 1/2 ISPs who use a firewall between them and their peers. I know of a few ISPs that use Firewalls on single homed upstream links to do political/porn filtering. Otherwise their peer connection is point to point or via an IXP - with no "firewalls" in between.
