Yes, it would have been true if there was another route header.
In fact loose_route returns true only if the message was "routed"
according to the route headers. If there was no change in the message
destination (either request uri or the destination uri), it returns
false.

If you are at the end of a server chain it will return false, because
the message will go to the request uri and not to an uri extracted from
a route header.
