The initial $5,000 registration fee still goes to FIRST, not the district (but some portion of that does come back to the district, not sure on the exact amount). However, third (and more) play fees as well as DCMP fees (I'm pretty sure) do go to the district.

From the District Planning Guide, page 10:

As part of one FRC team registration fee, FRC teams in the geographically defined area will receive one FRC Kit of Parts (KoP) and be eligible to compete at two District Events with approximately twelve (12) matches per district event. FIRST will collect additional play fees as necessary to fill capacity at District Events and forward the entire additional play fee to the District Leadership Entity.
