      on this key

      system.hostname[<type>, <transform>] 

      Description

      The value is acquired by either GetComputerName() (for netbios) or gethostname() (for host) functions on Windows and by "hostname" command on other systems.

      on this part

      and by "hostname" command on other systems.

      Are not correct

      Formally - agent in src/libs/zbxsysinfo/+/hostname.c SYSTEM_HOSTNAME() function calls system API uname(). From all names returned by uname() Zabbix agent takes nodename and returns it as hostname.
