No, it's rater like:

     domain.com MX 1 mail.domain.com
                MX 6 mail6.domain.com
     mail.domain.com A ipv4
     mail6.domain.com AAAA ipv6

The FQHN must be resolvable.  In the words of RFC 5321, Sect. 5.1:

                            That domain name, when queried, MUST return
    at least one address record (e.g., A or AAAA RR) that gives the IP
    address of the SMTP server to which the message should be directed.
