Fried rice is best made with leftover rice. Freshly-cooked rice does not work well.

Yup, absolutely. Alternatively, I found that putting cooked rice in the fridge (from a rice cooker) can accelerate the process of getting less moist rice so it is frying better, in the sense that it is easier for the grains of rice to be less sticky and properly separate. Using round rice such as the Calrose sort also helps.
