Yes, if an organisation is registred at a PO box somewhere that would be a
different site. The organization vocabulary has taken this into account,
see the description of org:hasSite <http://www.w3.org/ns/org#hasSite>:
*"Indicates
a site at which the Organization has some presence even if only indirect
(e.g. virtual office or a professional service which is acting as the
registered address for a company)"*. Both org:hasPrimarySite and
org:hasRegistredSite are subproperties of org:hasSite, so this remark goes
for those properties too.
