What it means is "if the address is successfully routed, and as part of
that routing, some remote hosts were identified as the place to send
messages for this address". For example, the domain is looked up in the
DNS, or a manualroute router has a list of hosts. If the routing is to a
local mailbox, for example, it isn't routed to remote hosts and no
callout can possibly be done.

That controls which domains are subject to
! verify = recipient/callout
but, for those domains, the ones that route to remote hosts get the
callout treatment. Of course, you probably set it up so that ALL such
domains route like that, but it's not necessarily the case.
