The shell is just a Python REPL, you can run any Python code in it. Consider:
>>> from yourapp import models
>>> models.YourModel.objects.first()
<YourModel: YourModel object>

If you can do the above successfully I don't think so.

Short answer: they're not really.
Long answer: When you try to access a field of a model in Django, Django will query the table related to that model, get the row with the ID of your model, then give you the correct column.
