Sure, but even that might not always prevent the fake paths from leaking

bug:
"Routes learned with the no-export community from an iBGP neighbor
are being advertised to eBGP neighbors. This may occur on Cisco ASR
9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers." (don't remember BugID)
In other words: it can happen to the best of us.
Your upstream could also re-write any BGP communities you attach to your
BGP updates; so unless co-ordinated, there is no real guarantee a
NO_EXPORT community will be maintained/honoured within your upstream's
network.
