That's sadly no longer true of MacOS and hasn't been since IIRC 10.7. The pre-NeXTStep MacOS used a extended attribute to determine file type and the early versions of Mac OS X continued the practice. Support for that was deprecated in 10.6 and while not formally removed it seemed to stop working in 10.7. There is limited support for determining file type from the command line by looking at the file header, but Finder can't do that. File type displayed in Finder, application associations, and QuickLook  display of files is all driven by the extension.
