I've not seen anything to suggest that has changed.

In the absence of a zone declaration, the primary DNS server is determined by looking at the SOA record for the zone - so without keys setup, a correctly configured DNS setup will automagically get updates as long as updates are allowed (e.g. by IP address). If a zone declaration is present, then the server specified in that is used.
