Generally correct, though it could be done a couple of ways. ISP
machines could have local messages that they have to process, e.g.
system messages such as cron output and the like, so they may still
have some manner of MUA...or they may route that type of message to a
different machine. This can be done using aliases, such as in
/etc/aliases.
