It is a bit more complicated: it first depends on the registry. Some
registries like the ".com" registry requires a separate step of name
server registration. As you said, this registration can be done
"behind your back" by the registrar.

Other registries, like the ".fr" registry, never requires a name
server registration so, whatever the registrar, you do not have to
register name servers.
