A friend of mine swears her brother is getting the ES350 and that it has the auto-park feature (a la the LS460). I told her I was pretty sure this wasn't available on the ES and was a proprietary feature only found on the LS. She said she checked with her brother and found out that it is available as an option.
Do you guys know if this is true?

Not available. She may be mistaking "intuitive park assist" basically the sensors in the bumpers (and associated warnings internal to the car). The LS feature is called "Advanced Parking Guidance System" and only available on that model so far in the US.

There's a reason why an LS is an LS and an ES is an ES. But someday the automatic parking thing will be available on many cars.

Exactly. He's prolly just confused. There's no way any manufacturer would put one of their most advanced premier features on a car that costs 1/2 to 1/4 the price of their top model.

Sames goes for engines and transmissions.
