In the global routing table: yes
In ACLs and IPAM etc: no

It all depends what you are working on :)

IIRC this is about the history of treating multiple sites that are connected on 
layer-2 as a single end-site. As that has caused confusion in the past, the new 
text explicitly states that a layer-2 connection does not automatically mean 
“single end-site”.
