I dont think it is, unless there is some kind of guarantee that this RDF will never get published or relased in the wild. But in that case, why bother using RDF?

OK, I see how that works now, thanks. This could be described as skolemization, in fact, of a recognizable kind done by JSON-LD parsing. JSON-skolemization. It has all the merits (no bnodes) and demerits (doesn't *really* preserve meaning, introduces spurious global IDs) that skolemization has in other places.
