Nope-- DNS requests aren't going to convert an A record to a AAAA record.

Normally, IPv6 only machines should request IPv6 AAAA records by preference, and fall back to IPv4 A records only when IPv6 isn't available.  However, your IPv6-only machine will route IPv4 traffic using 6-in-4 or NAT64 addressing, otherwise you'd get broken connectivity to IPv4-only addresses.
