routed yes, but not transported, I'd say. The exim spec says:

But you should test it if you want to rely on it.

So a.example.com is the same host as example.com and you want to get a
copy on this host? You should have said that from the beginning. Then
it's better to use a simple router, with unseen, for a local transport.
Don't forget to set the return_path or errors_to option. There are lots
of examples in the list archive and the wiki.
