Yes.

That's not what RFC 1738 says:
A file URL takes the form:
file://<host>/<path>
where <host> is the fully qualified domain name of the system on
which the <path> is accessible, and <path> is a hierarchical
directory path of the form <directory>/<directory>/.../<name>.
For example, a VMS file
DISK$USER:[MY.NOTES]NOTE123456.TXT
might become
<URL:file://vms.host.edu/disk$user/my/notes/note12345.txt>
As a special case, <host> can be the string "localhost" or the empty
string; this is interpreted as `the machine from which the URL is
being interpreted'.
