I have never heared that carbs can be a source of cholesterol before.

Not directly, but indirectly. Excess carb intake stimulates high insulin production which in turn stimulates various eicosanoid production leading to increased (usually LDL) cholesterol production in the liver.
As I'm sure you're already aware, excess carb intake also drives up triglyceride levels.
