No, railway=border is meant for locations where two distinct operators
of infrastructure meet at the boundary of two countries (e.g. boundary
locations between DB Netz (Germany) and ProRail (The Netherlands)).

railway=owner_change is meant for locations where there is no national
border (e.g. DB Netz and a private infrastructure operator meeting).

I changed a couple of these nodes into railway=site in Germany a few
weeks ago because they have a DS100 facility code (railway:ref=*) but I
am not against removing them completely because there is no
representation on the ground (apart from the boundary stones of the border).

Best regards
