I think so.

Presumably to create those domains locally. Of course the rest of the
world won't see them.

For example, I have some clients using a sendmail milter, which for some
users requires matching forward/reverse dns. And there are some senders
that just cannot seem to get that right. So we add

1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa    PTR     outbound.example.com.
outbound.example.com      A       127.0.0.1

to force matching forward/reverse dns. But that creates the name
outbound.example.com locally, where that name does not exist in the
global name space.
