Actually, no. Verisign registry requires host records with addresses
for nameservers named under com and net, and requires host records
without addresses for nameservers named within other domains.
Most other registries do not follow the verisign schema of
inter-relational host and domain objects; typically nameservers are
stored as fields in the records for their dependant domains. In those
registries no "registration of hosts" is required.
