hello
well everything seems to be fine.
no /etc/hosts only contain the domain names aliases for ip addresses . Its like a cache for skipping the resolving of DNS servers. So there's nothing wrong with that.

hosts - host name data base DESCRIPTION
The file associates Internet (IP) addresses with official host names and aliases. This allows a user to refer to a host by a symbolic name instead of an Internet address. This file contain all addresses for local interfaces that needs at boot time (see ifconfig(1M)). When using the name server (see named(1M)), or Network Information Service (see ypserv(1M)), this file often serves as a backup when the server is not running. In such circumstances, it is a common practice for to contain a few addresses of machines on the local network. should contain a single line for each host with the following information: internet_address official_host_name aliases The internet_address can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address specified in the conventional Internet dot notation. See inet(3N) or inet6(3N) for more information on Internet address manipulation routines. aliases are other names by which a host is known.

For the Internet, this file is normally created from the official host database maintained at the Network Information Control Center (NIC), although local changes may be required to bring it up to date with respect to unofficial aliases and/or unknown hosts. Host names can contain any printable character other than a white space, newline, or comment character. EXAMPLES
