No, it's not. I don't know where you got that from.
Assume I buy fiddle.com. I set the nameservers to be ns1.netauth.com and ns2.netauth.com. The domain still does not have an ip address, it's unreachable.
I have two ip addresses allocated to me by my server provider, one I use for developed domains, and one I use for network maintenance. I enter a record for fiddle.net into my dns servers and assign it the ip address I use for all of my developed domains or the ip address for sedo/namedrive parking webserver, depending on whether I want to develop it or park it.
My webserver has hosted thousands of domains, and all of them shared a single ip address. It's called "Name Based Virtual Hosting" in the Apache webserver. Quite common. Parking companies do it exactly the same way.
