If by "Query Tool" you mean the query capability in pgAdmin, it uses
standard SQL syntax. Two dashes starts a single-line comment and
slash-asterisk starts a (potentially) multi-line comment.

Hash marks for comments are typical of shell scripts, not SQL.

PostgreSQL is compliant with standard SQL, and offers alternatives and
shortcuts in addition to its support for standard SQL. The best
documentation I know of is at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/
