To explain it a little better, I think:
If you want to create "NS1.SOMEDOMAIN.COM", go to the registrar
handling SOMEDOMAIN.COM and use their procedure.
If you want to create "NS2.SOMEWHEREELSE.COM", and they're using some
other registrar, you use THAT registrar instead.
If SOMEWHEREELSE.COM is registered at $REGISTRAR_ONE, and
SOMEPLACE.COM is registered at $REGISTRAR_TWO, and you want to use
NS{1,2}.SOMEWHEREELSE.COM as NS servers for SOMEPLACE.COM, then you
need to create the hosts with $REGISTRAR_ONE, and then update the
domain record at $REGISTRAR_TWO.
More complex examples exist, but not aren't often encountered. :)
