Not necessarily. The two are completely separate zone files. Having
authority to provide DNS for a domain name to the Internet just sets
up the forward lookup (not the reverse IP).
For reverse DNS you either 1) have to have been directly allocated the IP
space, 2) been delegated rDNS from the upstream IP provider, or 3)
have the upstream IP provider set up the rDNS for you.
