Exactly correct.

If you want to run a T2 on bind, you just set your server up to slave the 
opennic root zone. You can't do that on pdns. So you have to use the hint 
method, which essentially just tells your pdns recursor to use the opennic 
root servers.

it's one of the different methods of setting up a DNS server:
