Accurately speaking, yes.  However, in practical terms (and functional 
terms as well) masquerading is an adjunct to the routeing procedures.  
Masquerading is, after all, simply a matter of stripping the old headers 
and reconstrcting new ones for each packet with the masquerading host 
being "clever" about keeping track of which gets what locally.
