Not really. Wine dlls are as real as it gets, only in the different file format (ELF instead of PE). And no they don't just pass some windows calls. Wine _reimplements_ windows API on top of POSIX.

What I was referring to as a "fake dlls" are the dlls Wine itself creates in system32 (and other) directories. Those are real PE dlls, just have no code in them, only resources.
