Traffic routing between vms on different hosts based on port groups

Hello, I'm trying to learn virtual networking. I read this post:

https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vSphere-vNetwork-Documents/Understand-How-Virtual-Machine-Traffic-...

And from what I gathered there is no significance if the vms are in the same port group / VLAN regarding the traffic route. Is that really the case?

There's no routing really if they are part of the same port group. if the VMs are on the same host the traffic won't even leave the host.
