Well, yes and no...No, we aren't lawyers, but yes in that there is some merit to the question from a network operator standpoint.
Sure, the CDN operator wants to deploy their node with as little cost to them as possible, particularly if the target country does not move the traffic and $$ needles for the CDN operator, i.e., they want to de-risk their investment as much as possible, hopefully until traffic and revenue picks up from that specific market.
Getting a local ISP to shoulder that responsibility, likely disguised as "content is king, so you benefit" would not be unusual.
It all comes down to how desperate the local market is for the content, and how far they are willing to negotiate in or against their favour.
