Yes, this is how DNS works.
Everything is a sub-domain of the root and it continues downwards.

To give you a practical example greens.org.au, has sub-domains
"state".greens.org.au in different places and once I upgrade my gateway,
I will handle macarthur.nsw.greens.org.au on my machine.

The opening chapters of DNS & Bind explains all this.

this is just a matter of your isp funnelling traffic to rsnsw.org.au to
the appropriate machine(s).
Most competent ISP's know how to do this.
