I believe your ISP can modify the default DNS of your router so when you connect through DHCP a device it will set that DNS, but if you manually set the DNS in your device ISP can't notice it.
They can modify the DNS packets still. They aren't encrypted or signed so the authenticity of a response packet cannot be verified. Parental controls from ISP relay on being able to snoop and modify your DNS (and SNI from TLS ClientHello packets).
