No, but it would define the meaning of "Domestic Traffic".
If all ISPs peer on a single exchange then Domestic traffic is traffic that traverses the links to the exchange.
You don't need to reduce a definition to a single entity for it to be valid. For example, in conversations, when I mention "Domestic Traffic", I mean "Traffic that enters/leaves my network via APE or WIX or one of our direct peering connections." That's just as valid as "Traffic that enters or leaves via CountryLink Uberpeer." Doesn't matter if you're not peering with TelstraClear at APE, WIX or directly, or if you're not peering with Telstraclear at NZ-Omni-IX. Either way, you're not peering with TelstraClear.
