That's OK as far as it goes, and I imagine that connections from your
other machine will work.  But for TCP connections from the same machine
the postmaster is on, you *also* need

host         all         127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255   trust

because local TCP connections usually go via the standard "loopback
address" 127.0.0.1, not via any external IP address your machine may
have.
