Yes that is because 1.1.1.1 was never meant to be publicly routed. In fact if it was routed or appeared in the global routing tables it was because someone spoofed/hijacked it or accidentally routed it. Or that the APNIC was performing some passive tests.

With the IPv4 address space getting exhausted, APNIC begun publishing routes for the 1.0.0.0/8 network in 2010 ago. It was not an accident, but a test. At the same time, prefixes that had never been allocated and were blacklisted by default in some router operating systems were made available.
