Exactly, it has a notion of home zone. FTN is a pretty dated and legacy system with some workarounds here and there to overcome the limitations and have a backwards compatibility with the DOS software from late 80x, early 90x.
PATH and SEEN-BY keywords, not really kludges even, have been stuck with 2D-address schema since the introduction of FTS-4 back in 86-87.
When IP took over the world, the zonegate guys became obsolete cause you just cannot control the amount of cross zone links sysop could establish. I really appreciate the decision made at some point to have network numbers unique across all zones.
