Well, yeah, otherwise you would have a different set of origin and destination and the ticket would price according to those. At most you could ditch the last segment back to CMB if you didnt have luggage checked.
This thread is about CMB fares, so no it wont work for ex-EU flights. There are discussions of some good EU-Asia fares in other threads, have a look at them.
