In my understanding pg_is_in_recovery() returns true if it's a standby node. However, even if it returns other than true, the server is not necessarily a primary. Even it's not configured as a streaming replication primary, it returns other than true. So if your intention is finding a primary, I am not sure if pg_is_in_recovery() is the best solution.
