If there is no Mx record found for a domain, does that mean email addresses with that domain cannot receive email?

I’m testing an email validation tool and checking some of the flagged domains. There are a bunch of domains don’t have an MX record, but DO have an \_dmarc TXT record. I’m assuming those domains may send email; but can never receive; or the \_dmarc is left-over from before that brand was acquired.

Thanks!

Correct.  
No MX, no receiving emails.
