I thought that I had read that starting with 2005, it requires splitting the case in order to change the IMS bearing. Can anyone clarify this?

That is correct; starting in 2005, many of the cars carried the "final solution" IMS bearing that is too large to fit through the opening in the rear of the case. There is also no proven method to determine which cars have it, other than to pull the flywheel and look for the 22M center bolt that only that IMS bearing had.
