This is not the case. See
http://docs.exim.org/current/spec_html/ch10.html#SECTfilnamlis
Basically if you have a bare file path in a host list (or other list
entry) then the contents of the file are read and each line is treated
as a list item. This is different from a search type lookup - its more
of a direct include. Doing this for *big* lists may have interesting
issues.
