Not in lftp it's not.
rm works on the remote server in lftp, as does cd, ls and so on.

To execute them on the local system, you'd have to use !rm, lcd or !lls instead.

So your hypothetical command of
> Lftp -u backup,backup  -C "MDEL /backup/dir/*" 192.168.1.249

would correctly be
lftp -u backup,backup  -c "rm -r /backup/dir" 192.168.1.249
