No, they just make up their own COM zone.
For example, the nameservers for eoileon.com are:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
eoileon.com. 145225 IN NS ns1.chestertonholdings.com.
eoileon.com. 145225 IN NS ns11.chestertonholdings.com.
If I ask one of their auth nameservers about COM I get:
$ dig +short @ns1.chestertonholdings.com com soa
a.gtld-servers.net. nstld.verisign-grs.com. 2006021701 3600 900 1209600 21600
Which almost looks good, except they didn't get the email about Verisign's
serial format change.
$ dig +short com soa
a.gtld-servers.net. nstld.verisign-grs.com. 1154620024 1800 900 604800 900
