Yes and no. For example, right now the oneworld
continent definition and IATA continent definition are not the same for Libya (but I don't think any oneworld airline flies to Libya currently, although RJ used to), so the routing section of the xONEx fare rules needs to make a special note on that. On the other hand, there is a general zone code for North Africa, so there is no need to list every single country as exceptions. Nevertheless, it would be much easier to write those routing codes for autoprice if the oneworld definition and IATA definition exactly align.
