The second router does that, yes.
[ i dont know why i need a transport here ]
For the cases when the host it looks up is *not* the local host. (I know
that in your case it always will be, because of what you did above, but
in general it may not be.)
Why are you using two routers here, when one will do:
lookuphost:
driver = lookuphost
transport = remote_smtp
self = local

The "self" action happens only when the lowest-priority MX points to the
local host. Any MX records with priorities higher than or equal to that
of the local server are always ignored (not only in the "self" case).

Yes, that is what it will do.

The most common way is to define local_domains.
