Do linked servers really need an alias created in the SQL Server Configuration Manager?

We added an entry to the hosts file on the database server, and used the alias in the hosts file as the linked server name and it works fine.

Does SQL Server look for the alias in the SQL Server Configuration Manager 1st, and then if it does not find it, then maybe it looks to the hosts file for the IP address ... ?
