Do you mean in general, or for the postgres_fdw specifically ? 

In general, only valid column types should be accepted in the 
CreateForeignTableStmt. The CreateForeignTableStmt is passed through 
DefineRelation, which takes care of looking up the actual data types.

For the postgres_fdw POC implementation, this is done by parsing the 
attributes type from the query result with the regtype input functions. The 
attribute typmod is injected too.
