It all explained here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/storage-file-layout.html
In particular:
Caution
Note that while a table's filenode often matches its OID, this is not
necessarily the case; some operations, like TRUNCATE, REINDEX, CLUSTER
and some forms of ALTER TABLE, can change the filenode while preserving
the OID. Avoid assuming that filenode and table OID are the same. Also,
for certain system catalogs including pg_class itself,
pg_class.relfilenode contains zero. The actual filenode number of these
catalogs is stored in a lower-level data structure, and can be obtained
using the pg_relation_filenode() function.
