As J65nko has already stated, DHCP can send down more than simply an IP address. DNS information is commonly sent too. All of this is defined on the server side which your ISP controls.

If you want to set the hostname yourself, you are correct in asking about dhclient.conf(5). The following may also given additional context:

send, supercede, & host-name may be options you may want to play with.

Is it necessary? No.
