Yes, correct if your setup is correct then yes this works. 
With a default windows install and with a few GPO changes.

> Early samba4 versions does not support (or have a buggy support) for auto->register PTR recors, as far i remember. 
I use windows to let it register and update its own record. 

My setup. 
Samba 4.4.5, win7 64b/win10 64b. 
Static and dhcp ips. ( dhcp is not linked to the samba DC ) 

I did set in the gpo, in network/DNS client.  ( computer policy )
The connections specific DNS suffix. 
Enable dynamic update. 
Primay DNS suffic 
Register PTR.
