If I create a table 'without oids' are oids still in use behind the

Yes and no. WITHOUT OIDS specifies that you don't want each row to
get its own oid. You will often here of "a table's oid" and what
that is is the oid of the pg_class entry for that table. The default
when creating tables is WITHOUT OIDS and you should leave it that way.
