Is this advice for using hub so that more than one computers can connect

Yes. The cable modem is the dns and default path for the Internet.

A cable modem is a layer 2 device, it is not the DNS it simply
bridges the Ethernet to the cable modem termination system (CMTS).
Some cable modems have routers built in, these may have the ability
to act as DNS proxy.
FYI, I don't use Comcast's DNS (at least not as my primary or
secondary DNS and my default route is to Comcast's next hop
router (there's no way to avoid that).
