Yes - the access routers have to decide whether they run a link
in NETLMM mode or not. On a shared link, multicast RAs would
cause a problem.

(But I am not sure if there's anything that prevents the access
routers from deciding that they do not give this host the actual
local  mobility service; as the hosts are unmodified, they really
do not know how the network decides to give them prefix X or Y.
The restriction is related to how ND works on the link, not what
the NETLMM nodes actually do on behalf of the host.)
