Yes, but [qmail|postfix|sendmail] can have a send queue without you
running an SMTP server.

And Rob is referring to the same thing as you are: "your MTA [...] called
as a program" is the same thing as "putting a message into
[postfix|sendmail]'s send queue".

But there is another way. You can configure pine to send it to someone
else's SMTP server - which is presumably exactly what your MTA will do in
order to get the message out of its send queue.
