No, there is no address rewriting for virtual_alias_domains only
(or for relay_domains, or for virtual_mailbox_domains).

virtual_alias_maps is for all (recipient) email addresses. In old
postfix versions the aliases and domains were listed in the same
table, and that was even more confusing.

Clever! The same could be done with a database file:
/etcpostfix/main.cf:
virtual_alias_domains = nottheoilrig.com
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
/etc/postfix/virtual:
@nottheoilrig.com nottheoilrig
But the inline version is fine for not too any entries.
