And in fact that's not what the manual says.  See (info "(tramp)File name 
completion"):

[After ‘/ssh:’,] typing ‘<TAB>’ shows host names TRAMP extracts from 
‘~/.ssh/config’ file, for example.

       ssh:127.0.0.1:                       ssh:192.168.0.1:
       ssh:[::1]:                           ssh:localhost:
       ssh:melancholia.danann.net:          ssh:melancholia:

Choose a host from the above list and then continue to complete file names 
on that host.
