Yes, this is how it works, probably due to the history of this being used for sending messages to pagers. The man page probably could be clearer on the format produced.
There doesn't appear to be an equivalent env var to show the IP in its normal (for humans) form.
The code also doesn't seem to know about IPv6. But that's another story.
