Not necessarily.  Code points were at times assigned to things that never happened.  Consider the Cterm foundation layer which lists RSTS and RT-11, neither of which ever implemented Cterm.  Or OS-8 and RTS-8 in several of those lists; I think DECnet/8 is for RTS-8, but there never was one for OS-8.  (Or is it the other way around?)
