No, ispell (the program) is not used for completion. Instead, you will see that ispell.el invokes the program that is the value of ispell-grep-command directly, as this backtrace you posted clearly shows: ispell-call-process("egrep" nil t nil "-i" "^blu.*$" "/usr/dict/words") (`ispell-call-process' is a simple wrapper for call-process-region, it does NOT invoke ispell the program.)
