So this means I should be adding gmail.com, hotmail.com, outlook.com, yahoo.com, icloud.com, whatever_other_domain_imaginable.com to my configuration ?????

No, this does not mean that. You just add your own domain name there, not recipient domains.

https://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html  in order to avoid mail delivery loops, you must list all hostnames of the machine, including $myhostname, and localhost.$mydomain
