Correct. I made a quick dump of the telemetry hosts here: https://cl.ly/hZ3q

If you have win10, you can add this to your hosts file. The optional portion of the list will block store items, the email client and even things like the Groove media player, so use it as you will.

Given the OS is known to be able to ignore its own HOSTs file, you're better off doing this directly in your router, if that is a possible option.

Unless you have a source that shows otherwise, I only know if it doing that if it's formatted wrongly, which is going to be a problem with most things.
