Correct. In the "end-system L3VPN" proposal the virtual interface within a 
given end-system is identified by the combination of the physical interface MAC 
address and 802.1Q tag. This tag is unique only within the end-system. The 
first-hop router (NVE) responds to all ARP requests from the end-system and 
performs IP lookup on every packet. MAC address of the guest OS is not on the 
wire.
