I can confirm this from working in arcades while in University. If we had a title on the floor that was earning money that the monitor went out on and there wasn't anything else available to replace it with, we'd bung in a SCART-capable TV of about the right size until something more appropriate could be found. In some cases, they were just left that way. It was also common to do this for test rigs.
Now, I do seem to recall that we had adapter boards for some games that went between the game's video output and the SCART cable, but can't recall the specifics of it.
