No, the different smtpd_*_restriction parameters reject based on
different pieces of information and a "permit" at any stage just means
Postfix allows the client to go on to the next stage.
For example, _client_ accepts or rejects based on the client's
connection information (IP, hostname, certs, etc.). _sender_ accepts or
rejects based on the From: header. _recipients_ accepts or rejects based
on the To: header and is what controls whether or not the server acts as
an open relay.
The restrictions are checked in sequence (client, sender, recipient, in
the above example) and a "permit" at each stage just means Postfix
allows the client to keep talking to it. E.g. if _client_ is set to
permit (which is the default) _sender_ and _recipient_ are still checked.
