Actually, no.

The loader processes all the hashes in the input file(s) sequentially.
For each hash, it tries all the format implementations in the sequence
they were registered (i.e., the seuence they appear in --list=formats or
--list=format-details...).
The first format finding a valid hash wins:

$ ./john hashes.LM hashes.md5crypt
Warning: only loading hashes of type "LM", but also saw type "md5crypt"
Use the "--format=md5crypt" option to force loading hashes of that type
instead
Warning: only loading hashes of type "LM", but also saw type "aix-smd5"
Use the "--format=aix-smd5" option to force loading hashes of that type
instead
Using default input encoding: UTF-8

Loaded 9 password hashes with no different salts (LM [DES 128/128 AVX-16])
Warning: poor OpenMP scalability for this hash type, consider --fork=8

The format that gets used will be saved in the .rec file, in the log
file, and on standard output (The "Loaded ..." line).
