You’re confusing subcritical reactors with thorium power

Literally nothing you just said is correct.

Is it wrong that Thorium reactions stop on their own?

It depends how they are designed. Same as regular uranium reactors. Thorium isn’t a reactor fuel after all, it’s what you use to breed more fuel. The actual fuel is still uranium. Thorium turns into uranium-233 then that is the fuel. Normal reactors use uranium-235. Both isotopes can be made to be passively safe.
