Yes if they are renders thats fine, if you have seen their models in indie games then they are being used illegaly, its only very recently they made some small part of their media available with a game license.
The Daz/poser license refers specifically to meshes, which are definately restricted for use in games or any form of redistribution, I took a quick look at the link above to shareCG and its unclear to me if the mesh itself is part of the download or if it just references a Poser character mesh and only uses the textures provided. If the distributor of the model created it himself then his license is fine.
Quote: "You may:
Create still images, animations, or any other rendered output in any format for any purpose. Once you've created an image or animation, you may use it however you like. This means you can sell, give away, use in projects at work, use in greeting cards, use in personal or client websites, use in illustrations, advertisements, use to create tangible replicas, etc..
You may not:
Distribute any part or portion of the data (or "files") that you receive from DAZ as part of your purchase. You may not sell, nor give away, nor modify and then redistribute any portion of the files whatsoever. You may not use a DAZ product to create any item that competes with said product."
The 'animation' part means rendered animation to avoid confusion.
I believe your model is perfectly fine to distribute. But folks need to be clear on the use of actual Poser/Daz products for use in their games also it appears the licese above is generic and some authors have more/less restrictions on their media. This is becoming a little more confusing with them now licensing some of their products for game use, but the models are more expensive and only a small portion are available for now.
