Not correct.  Anyone can run there own Authoritative name servers for a
domain.  This may be you OR your registry.

The Nameserver data configured for your domain is used by the domain
registry to populate the servers delegated to the applicable TLD.

You are reliant on these TLD servers, so a query about your domain can
be passed to the correct Authoritative NS.
