Correct.

My "Tor nslookup equivalent" of choice is nslookup:

fk@TP51 ~ $sockstat -4l | grep _tor
_tor     tor        1643  5  tcp4   10.0.0.2:9050         *:*
_tor     tor        1643  6  tcp4   10.0.0.2:9040         *:*
_tor     tor        1643  7  udp4   10.0.0.2:53           *:*
_tor     tor        1643  8  tcp4   10.0.0.2:9051         *:*
fk@TP51 ~ $nslookup www.torproject.org tor-jail
Server:         tor-jail
Address:        10.0.0.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   www.torproject.org
Address: 86.59.21.36

That may not be possible with stable releases yet, though.
