In general, yes; but not entirely true.
Each computer probably has one or more apps that do not rely on DNS for connectivity... like some antivirus apps try DNS, but if that fails, they try to update via a hard coded IP addresses. The same goes for many infections. I've seen posts where people had Skype working, but no DNS for their browser.
Also, each computer should be running a DNS service that caches previously resolved IP addresses. Some of these IP addresses will stay in that cache for days. Restarting the computer clears that local DNS cache.
