I consider the fact that that works to be an acceptable side effect, but
not an essential feature.

I assume that by "Inbound Proxy" you mean "the Service Provider proxy
that sends calls to the PBX".  

Yes, _if_ you were to do this using source IP addresses as the filter,
you'd need to know the whole list (or, better, a name that could be
resolved via DNS to the whole list, which would let the provider change
the list without reconfiguring the PBXs).

As I said, it would be even better to insist on mutual TLS - don't
accept an INVITE unless it comes on a TLS connection whose peer has a
certificate that names it as the Service Provider.
