The documentation in the Squish Developers Kit (Version 2.00) agrees:

          Certain message systems, such as the FTSC-0001 *.MSG format,
          do not store zone  information with each message.   When the
          API  encounters such a message  and no zone  is present, the
          specified  zone will  be used  instead.   A 'def_zone'  of 0
          indicates  that nothing  is  to be  inferred about  the zone
          number of a  message, and  in that case,  the API  functions
          will return  0 as the  zone number for  any message with  an
          unknown zone.

But FTS-0001 defines zone and point fields since 1989.
