No, it is local variable for that module.

Look into any pre-PAM code which use OPIE, like login code. Host (rhost) 
is only set to some name for non-local logins. Local logins set it to ""
The comment in the OPIE accessfile.c confirms it too.

If you set host to "localhost" or NULL, it not recognized as localhost 
inside OPIE code, i.e. in the accessfile.c, so some functionality (like 
always allowing localhost) will be lost.
