First of all, I apologize for my lack of knowledge about the domain name
registration industry.
No need. We all stumble in the dark :-)

I think that a simpler way of explaining What Tomas has said, is that
someone has registered the domain name, but, has not set up web hosting for
it, so, the domain name is registered, but, the person who registered it,
has not set up a web site for it.
Even less than that: just a DNS record, i.e. some entry in the global
name database mapping the name to... anything (an IP address, another
name, a mail exchange, whatever).
You can reserve the name and postpone creating a DNS record for it.
As often, the Wikipedia [1] gives a good read on that.

As a person who has a few web sites, the first step, is registering the
domain name, then, the second step, is obtaining web hosting. Upon the
obtaining of the web hosting, DNS addresses (the IP numbers for the DNS
servers) (for, usually, each of the primary server and secondary
server), are then allocated. In the absence of obtaining web hosting, no
DNS server is allocated.
That is from my experience.
Your experience may be different.
