There are many errors in that statement. 1) Postfix does not send DNS queries to your ISP, or to anyone else. 2) The choice between /etc/hosts and DNS is made by nsswitch.conf (or equivalent; I am assuming Linux for the sake of simplicity). 3) The choice between local zone files and your ISP is made by the name daemon config file and by /etc/resolv.conf.
